64 Beaumont and 64 Chevelle hoods, are they close enough to interchange?

I know the 65 Beaumont hoods have a different hood lip angle than the 65 chevelles, but I am not sure about the 64's. What or any mods are required?

I'm pretty sure Beaumontguru talked about that on here recently but I can't recall the thread it was in. I'll do some digging and see if I can find it. Seems to me it was in the last month or so.

Aren't '64 hoods and bumpers flat on the front but pointed on the 65's?.
So a fella could swap a whole frt. clip but not individual body/trim parts?.

I'm not swapping a 65 for a 64. I am looking to use a 64 chevelle hood on a 64 Beaumont.

I was sure that I would have to weld those center holes up but, I was wondering if the 64 Beaumont hood trim will bolt up to the 64 chevelle hood? I know I would have to drill new holes for the studs but, is the leading edge the same on both of the 64 hoods?

64 Beaumont front hood trim will definitely bolt right on to a 64 Chevelle hood. I did it on mine! Holes are already there.
