Title: upright headlights on a pre 67 car Post by: Peter on April 25, 2009, 14:35:48 pm Hey guys,
i know it might sound strange, but recently i was thinking of replacing the front fenders to other ones, because they are badly dented and i saw a pic of a japanese 51? with new style fenders.. does anybody know this car or has a pic? I think it could look cool on my 64....

Here is what I have found so far... Unfortunately it doesn't show the front :-\ (http://www.motownvws.com/cover/2008/05/photo001.jpg) Title: Re: upright headlights on a pre 67 car Post by: nicolas on April 25, 2009, 17:01:07 pm that is avery nice Japanese car. and it looks nice with the upright lights.
think it was inspired by Lee Leightons red car, and how could that be wrong ;) Title: Re: upright headlights on a pre 67 car Post by: Peter on April 25, 2009, 17:49:55 pm Yeah , thats the car :)

Its a 74 owned by the same guy in Japan. The 74 body was rotting away underneath. His decision was to replace the 74 body with that of a 51, so the 51 with the 67 front fenders is on a 74 pan. Confusing eh??Title: Re: upright headlights on a pre 67 car Post by: 67worshipper on April 26, 2009, 11:38:32 am I found a pic of the '51 you are looking for ;) (and a look-a-like) it might be a mongrel but it still looks great ;)Title: Re: upright headlights on a pre 67 car Post by: Ole on April 26, 2009, 12:37:25 pm This is what a '57 with a '67 style front looks like:
