    one question. are the capri/mustang fenders the same? i know the capri has the flares but can you bolt capri fenders on a mustang and all body lines work together?

    Yeah, probably be better to use Mustang fenders because you'd have to somehow graft the flares on your rear fenders too with Capri fronts. But Capris and Mustangs use the same doors, so the lines do line up. There were Mexican Mustang notchbacks that used Mustang front fenders and Capri front ends.

    It would have been fun to trade. I've been wanting to put the slant nose on mine for some time. C'mon, just drive your truck out here!

    pretty sure someone mentioned the lower ridge in the door doesn't match up with mustang fenders and requires some sheetmetal work on the fender to make them match

    I think it would be simpler and look just as good the way it is but painted all black with the black magic type gold accents and the gold mercury cats head on the fenders.
