I don't like either option at all, but I think the factory quad lamps on 70 GMs look "right" (LeMans/GTO, Skylark, Chevelle). As Troy said though, your car your choice.

If you are set on one of them, the second is better than the first...

Agreed. I'm not against resto-mods but I think the front end looks great from the factory. Not digging the square-lights. Wrong era.

No...and no...please no. I have had 2 of these and I was conceived in the back seat of one. I have been searching for another for 7 years. But extending the original grille and using a first gen Camaro RS type hide-away set up might look nice.

I've had 3. I've owned Chevelles all of my life (since 18). Two '70s, and a '71 (now rusting peacefully in the back yard).
I'm liking the fully frenched one. The lights could go behind the grill. To me, it looks very RS-like, yet unmistakably Chevelle - perhaps a show car of the era. I dunno...I've always loved hidden headlights. This came off my head as a doodle last night because, I was considering building my 3rd Chevelle (a 1971) back up, and I started thinking...I have to redo all the panels anyway; should I just make it cosmetically a '70 SS tribute car instead? Then I started thinking some more, and realized that I kinda like the '71 front, and the '70 rear the best. The fact is, the back of the '70 has single, square tail lenses, and quad round headlights. Where the '71 has single headlights in a square bezel, and quad round tail lenses (?). It seems almost like the stylists got those two years fronts and backs confused. So I thought about making it a mutt; '71 front, '70 back bumper...then I started thinking about maybe making hidden headlights...

Larger square headlights would look better I think, the truck lights are too small and out of proportion.
