Also got my hands on a pair of 68 NOS fenders.

 

Ray,

You may want to measure the mounting holes on those fenders for the badges and the lights.  I got some early fenders from James thinking they were the same as on my wagon, but I ended up having to relocate all the holes.  I actually cut that section out of one of my old fenders, so a template does exist.  (We could also cut them out of yours if they're bad and need to be replaced.)

 

If I recall correctly, I had to move everything back about 1/2".

 

Sounds complicated, but it was actually pretty simple..

 

Don't know if the Coupe is the same location as my wagon, but you can see how much farther back the hole for the side marker light is then the one in your pic..  James would know.

And as usual, I could just be talking out my ass.  If so, then never mind....

Looking good!

 

Are you going to run the '68 SSS steering wheel or a Nardi or something else?

 

If you are not going to use it, it would look so awesome in Paul's '68 1400DX Bluebird.

Im running my Watanabe wheel/ Falcon this one will just sit wrapped up.

Some Fj20 and Mikuni goodness all rolled in one. Stacks I will get from Datrod later, dime a dozen.

It's like searching for Batman.  Those carbs are awesome!!
