    Hello!! first time writer in this forum..!

    I am wondering about this hood on the "mavstang" is it a -67-68 mustang hood?
    And the fenders from 67-68?
    I was thinking of doing this because the are no fenders or hoods to buy here in sweden! I have a Comet -71. I live in sweden so i hope you guys understands my writing!! /John

    Yup, 67-68 Will Work But Has 67 Model Fenders Pictured. I Own A 67 And Thought About Doing The Same Thing.....and Still Thinking About It

    Man, everytime I see that, and that chopped 4 door, and the back of Ray's blue car, I can't help but picture a chopped 4 door with a Mustang front end and Shelby tail lights. Tell me that wouldn't get some attention.

    ONly difference between 67 and 68 mustang fenders is 68 has side marker lights. Unless you like the cowl hood, they have a hood that had turn signal lights recessed into grills in the hood. Looks way better than the cowl hood.

    Yup, Side Marker Lights Is The Only Difference Between The 2 Yrs On The Fenders. I Have The Hood W/ The Turn Signals In It For Mine And It Looks Alot Better Than Any Cowl Hood I've Seen On A 67/68 Mustang.

    you may have to notch that hood to fit though, as stated above i think the cowl was an easy fix to the mismatch of the hood to the mav front. maybe i just misread that though. also there is a line match issue mentioned in another thread.

    the rear of the mustang fender, and the front of the maverick door. they are way different . i placed the mustang fender in front of a maverick door. this is not a bolt on mod. will need lots of body work.

    The Mustang has a 6" longer wheel base.
