Default 68+ nose on a 66?

i like the way the nose on 68+ mustangs look, if i were to buy a one piece fiberglass nose for a 68 would it fit on my 66 easily?

With the right skill, patience, time and money you can do anything. The 65-66 and 67-68 are different widths so it would not be an easy, fast, or cheap mod.

Those one piece front ends are race grade which means fits and looks like crap.If you really want to be different http://www.trophymustang.com/1964196...nt-p-6925.html

I'm not sure why people want to do stuff like this. If you like the 68, then sell your 66 and buy a 68. Please don't butcher your Mustang.

I saw one of those on craigslist a month or 2 ago for around $75, I can't imagine anyone doing that to a Mustang, except maybe Sonny & Cher (old guys might remember theirs).

Sonny and Cher had some of the ugliest classics I've ever seen.

Sonny and Cher sure did have ugly cars. What was supposed to be cool about that?
