I have finished 75% of the body work on my 87 240 and even patched the bottom and front lips of the front fenders (by turn signals) and it still looks iffy. I tacked sheetmetal onto it and I'm unsatisfied with the results. I'm also afraid the rust will return after it gets painted. There is a Bonus; I have a pair on NOS fenders from an 84 240. They look the same other than the turn signals. They have been in my garage for a decade and still look like new. Could I use it with the 87 hood? It looks like a direct bolt-on. I am NOT using the 87 headlamps or grill. I mounted a complete 76 nose with the 7" round lamps. It fit perfect when I used the upper and lower doghouses and core supports from the 84 240. (Yea, I have been hoarding a lot of parts). I will not be able to tell if the 84 fenders will match the profile with the 87 hood until I actually put them on, and then it will be too late if they don't align up. Has anyone done this before. I need some good advice and soon.
