Older fenders will fit onto late model 240s quite well

I just swapped an old style 1975-1985 front fender onto my 87 240. Unbelievably it fit better than the one that was on it orginally. Tomorrow, I'll swap the other side. I also ditched the entire crusty doghouse and core support and used an older style one. I also ditched the yellowed plastic headlamps and used single 7" round lamps. Even the wiring is the same color codes. The only issue I can see is the front lip of the hood hangs over the grill about 2" like a beak, but it kind of looks cool. I lost the older style drivers side turn signal lamp over the years. (I think I gave it to the guy who bought my old 245 with a box of spare parts). If anyone has one to sell, it's the clear lens from the 81-84 model. I could use one.
