Marker lights are completely different. I would think you'd have to change the entire fender out. 68 is the maiden year, why make changes? Unless you're going the A12 route. Even then, I wouldn't hesitate to put an A12 hood on a '68.

Even the trunk panels are different, rear bumpers because of back up lights. It'd be a lot of work to COMPLETELY change over thats for sure. Ask him what he likes better on the 69 and if it's just the front thats easy, but other than that, more than it's worth. Plus, the 68's are wwwaaayyy better anyways!

If your customer wants a '69 , then encourage him to buy a '69 . I see no benefit from creating a 68-9 "Frankenstien" .

You also would have to change the upper grille support, but that is just a bolt in.

Do your customer a favor and tell him to buy a '69 if that's what he wants. Sure it's his car, blah, blah, blah and of course he'd never DREAM of selling it but 9 times out of 10 it'll be for sale sometime in the next 10 years and he'll be that he can't get what he thought he would 'cause it's been "frankensteined" Dave
