Visitors from Authenticity Corner may want to look away...
I have a 65 C car, non-matching engine, and fairly Outlawed. I love the look of the larger C car rear windows - I think it gives the rear of the car less of a "hump back" that the A's suffer from. However, I love the A car nose much more than the C's. Would it be possible to put an A nose on a C car? Just the front valance to the headlights, not the whole front quarters, etc. Would a C hood line up with the hood lip on the A nose?
Will an A nose fit on a C car?

Re: Will an A nose fit on a C car?
Anything can be made to fit with enough cutting and welding. The most significant amount of modifying is like you suggest the hood. Square peg (C hood) into a round hole (A hood opening). Have a look here: Spotter's Guide to the 356 Models
