I had an acident with my 61'. Since its already a resto-rod, I thought a57' nose would be cool. Does anybody know if it fits? I know there is a difference of 8" in overall lengths, but is it in the rear or front? Wheelbase on both is the same. Help!

61 to 57
Yes. It can be done IF you use the entire frontend. If you want to retain the 61 dash, you'll have to splice the front end at the hood ledge area. You'll need to modify the upper cowl ends a bit also. Very easy to do. 53-57 style inner fenders, radiator panels and hood would be needed. Also 53-57 hood hinges.
You'll probably save money putting it back stock, IMO.
Good luck with whatever you do.
