[diemarthadie at aol.com]

Brian S., on this list, has done it with his 200 non-avant.  it looked quite nice... then he gave it to his son ;)
 
Brian, you want to chime in on the work involved?

you need to cut the v8 fenders mid way (behind the molding) and graft the
lower section from the regular type 44 in order for it to bolt up correct.
Also, as keith has said many times before, the frame rails are longer than
your typical type 44, so something would need to be done there as well. I
tcan be done( Actually.....it has been done) but its a custom job as far as
the fenders and bumpers go (I believe the hood bolts up without issue).

I've not actually tried the fenders yet, but it sure looks like they'll bolt
right in place of the originals.  The hood latch is reportedly no problem
with
the 200 core support, which I'll retain because it anchors the intercooler.
