Hello all,
Please clarify, does anyone have modified new (1969) front fenders bucket headlight housing, so old style lamps (1957) can be installed? I don't have access to purchase the old model fenders, so I would like to modify the ones that I have.

really? where on earth are you that you 'don't have access to early fenders'?
if you really want to change an upright headlamp fender to a sloping one - a large hammer might do it...

The fenders are completely different around the headlights so you would have to have someone who can do metal shaping at a very high level to make that modification.

I believe that folks are saying that BBT makes excellent reproduction early fenders... and they can be shipped to as many places as someone on this forum can ship later fenders. By the time you modify later fenders into early fenders, you will likely be able to purchase several sets of BBT fenders.
