Phil -

IMHO, these parts are to rare to go on a mod'd car. I'm not such a purist that 
I decry any
mods - the custom parts you've posted pics of are excellent - but better to use 
something
that has to be reworked anyway and save the NOS body panels for a box-stock 
resto, for
authenticity's sake.
