V8 hood fits on a 5ktq

[urq]

... I never had a chance to try it, but some time ago I made measurements, 
and it seemed likely that the hinges and latches were in the same place for 
both.  I'll be interested in seeing how your car turned out ... I want to do 
this too.  The biggest things for me are figuring out how to get the rest of 
the V8 nose onto the 200 ... hopefully the two core supports and struts are 
similar.  Actually in my case I'll be transplanting the front fenders as 
well ... so the places that may be problems are the core support and the 
bumper struts ...

... some day ... too many other higher priority projects ...
