    Dang... to bad I can't find them on his website. I emailed though so we shall see on price with shipping :D

    I am thinking, I need to get a new job so I can have more $ to start my build sooner rather than later.

    I see the changes needed here. The bolt patterns appear to match up but the mounting point on the fender skirt is not in the correct plane. If you look closely he had to make relief cuts in order for the hinge to mount at 90* rather than tilted over.

    Same with this one. You can see where it is boxed out so that it lines up properly.

    So what year mustang did that come off of for the bolt holes to line up?

    You are 100% right!

    after I have finished the bodywork of the engine bay, I had to change the position of the nuts and make a new mounting plates on the fender .... then it is not plug and play .. ...you're right!
    I said bull****!! sorry!I only repeated what I heard from the seller .. :(:huh:(y)
