There is also a writeup someone did, but I can't remember where exactly. They used photos and documented his swap of a 98 GM onto a 97 CVPI. He didn't need to replace the fenders, but the hood, bumper, bumper cover, headlights, and corner lights were all replaced. The guy did have to do minor modifications (mostly grinding and minor cutting) to get everything to fit. But I can't remember which CV forum it was in. Do a Google search for swapping a 98 CV front clip to a 97 CV.
