ohhhh, you should graft a front clip off of a 4th gen monte onto it, lol.
seriously, though, how bad is it? like justin said, call all the local salvage yards, & pray they have not crushed them "nice heavy cars" yet... the monte front clip would probibly not work due to the side bodylines, and an oldsmobile has differant shaped wheel openings ( more round) than the buick, although it does look like a frontend off of a same year olds delta 88 or station wagon could work, if you dont mind the wheel openings...
