V8 hood fits on a 5ktq

[Steve Sears]

Steve,
Paul has a write up of comparing a V8 to a 100 as he swapped the V8 body
parts on to his 100.  The problem with using the V8 bumper was that the
foglights intruded into the 100 fender and the connecting plates between the
bumper and fender were different between the standard 5000/100/200 affair.
If you were using V8 fenders, then those problems may be solved.

I know what you mean about too many projects....
Cheers!
