Front end swap on a 240??

[jpbturbo]

I had a dream while I was asleep after fridays partying and I saw something like this.

I think this should be possible.
Instead of a GTO front end as in the picture it should be possible to cut and weld the stock fenders and reshape a flathood if you cut up the bracing from the underside and rewelded it.
Then you could mount the four rectangle headlights underneath the bumper.
This would really be a sweet conversion.
Are their any good books on body metalwork that I should read?
I'm going to go ahead and pinstripe the car before I do any real work to it.

Peace,
Josh

You just might need professional help.

I call photoshop!

I'd say to buy a 930 flatnose...

But, I would also say to do that to a 244 and see how many learned folks call it an Aston Martin Lagonda. Or, just do it to be cool... Because it would be.

+1
You DEFINATELY need professional help.
If you pull it off, you are the S!@#!!!!!
If you have your car and fail, you need more professional help.
It could be done, lots of one-off parts, all custom made.
I know a guy in Reno that could do it. Probably about 12-17k.

Knowing Josh he already did it.

looks sweet, maybe chop top too?

It'd work rather well if you were a body builder....

If you can squeeze the PSIC in there as well, I'll give you a cookie.

How about in a V mount type of setup with a custom radiator?

Two cookies, and a nice glass of Isopropyl & Tonic to wash 'em down.

[jpbturbo]

I'd rather drink some bud light over the isopropyl.

What happened to future boy?

Funny commercial during the NCAA hoop games. Future boy was due for replacement.

<b>THERE</b> not called anything.
They are called bricks because of the way they look.
If they didn't look like that then they would not have to be called bricks.
Once I do the conversion I'll start my own website.

I've been kinda thinking about some other front ends I could put on as well.
I might post them up in a little bit.

Thanks,
Josh

How hard is it to splice in a 480 front end?

But IMHO, the windshield shape and car profile just would not work with anything but a squared off end. Might be alright if the corners were more rounded, but wedge ... just can't imagine it.
