Hey guys,

I have a dumb question...can I make a late type 3 notch look like an early one by boltiong on early guards, and replacing the front and rear valances on the later car with those from an early one? Also will change bumpers etc.

Or are the inner guards and leading edge where the bonnet and boot mounts totally different also?

This is one option..the other is to split the body and pan and do the swap and neccessary engine mount mods.

Any advice owuld be appreciated.

Cheers,

Steve

Danny made his late square look early

Came up the goods i reckon

Yeah looks pretty sweet, but I want the early guards also.

The answer is NO!!

mmm, so swapping the early body onto the late pan is my only option?

Still alot of mods, A guy i know on this forum did mine.

Just find a 69 model. Best of both worlds. Late running gear with the much better looking front (and rear).

PS. There's never a dumb question......... just dumb answers!!

I have a picture some where or was it in a mag... you can only place the early rear side panels on a late notch.
Also, shave of the late model pig nose bonnet, to give it a nice rounded early look.

Ok so the rear's fit on. Thanks for the advice guys

Late front guards are longerRear different lights.The easy way is to buy a pre 69 body.Though I suppose anything is possible with time.

yeah there are a few with early rear quarters, but the fronts won't go on, because the strip under the windscreen, has different sized/proportioned curves on each side, where the top corners of the front guards meet (where they all rust!).
Worth doing the rear quarters though.
