Re: '68 fenders with a '72 hood?

This is the one I speak of, he laid back a 69-72 hood on a 69-72 clip. It gives
the illusion of a 67/68 hood. Not sure what was involved in doing the grafting.

Not exactly what I phrased originally, but anything can be done with some work.

What you are seeing is a 67-68 hood that has been shortened up for a 69-72 front clip. If you look the sides of the hood come in more before starting to turn up and that is a 67-68 thing. The 69-72 start to turn up sooner. I did the same thing on Low Buck and I think I did a How-To on it as well if I remember right.

Re: '68 fenders with a '72 hood?

You stated you were going to use fiberglass fenders.
Did you find someone that makes them or you going to make your own?

I been looking for some for a long time with no luck.

Just curious
