70 olds 98 compatibility

Hey Folks, My son and I are restoring a 1970 Olds 98.
We need to either repair the front bumper, headlight cowl and front passenger side Fender or replace them. Wondering what models are compatible with this Car so that we may be able to salvage some body parts from other vehicles instead of trying to bang them back into shape

I think you could get by with a '70 88 as well, I know they look very, very similar.

As stated 1970 Delta 88 and Ninety Eight use the same front end sheetmetal. Fenders, hood, header panel and bumpers. Grilles and trim details are different.

Tell us more. What kind of Ninety Eight is this? They're all cool, from an entry level Town Sedan all the way thru the convertible, Holiday Coupe and Sedan to the Luxury Sedan.
