The car in my [current] avatar pic, the Baha-haha. I was driving it in the 70s when someone left-turned into me. I pocketed the insurance money and went out and bought a set of 1940 Buick headlights and Jeep hood latches.
It worked out pretty well, except cutting the front half of the fenders off reduced the [36hp] top speed by 5mph. Later the whole front clip was replaced from the A-pillar forward.
