I actually love the 80/60
I know they’re famous
But what quality of work do they do.

Also an 80/62 may look more balanced

I don’t think I would ever spring for one without seeing it up close and very very personal with magnets and paint depth tools

Well, the hood and fenders are fiber glass. The were at some point changing over to use metal but I haven't read or heard anything that they have. The company has their first American show room in San Diego

I bet a 62 front on an 80 would look good.

Or just do what @HDavis did and get the quad headlights that came on Aussie and Middle Eastern 80s and stick them on a US spec 80. Looks WAY better than the molded headlights we got here - in my opinion anyway. We happened to be driving next to each other yesterday so I saw his truck in person for the first time since he did the swap. It's really sharp looking.

You know, that must be why I think it would look good. Because actually did it that way on some of them. :doh:

I agree, but I am biased.
