I'm not really fond of that look. I think it is an interesting idea and I agree it does have a Willys  feel but I like the lights separate. Just me. :)

I like the look but my personal choice would be to have the inner section of the fender, that Moose curved down, I would have the fender go straight across to the side of the hood. I'm just sayin' :)
Tighten it up til it strips, then back it off a quarter turn

Do you mean more like this..Can't do too much without getting into modifying the headlight area.

I think you should leave the detail of the headlight buckets alone and just fill in the area between the fenders and hood area with a flat panel. It has to much of a roll in the fenders.

Just something I'm kicking around anyways...the fenders look nice from the side...the front needs something....the headlights would probably be closer the radiator....the front would need a bit more tweaking....a chin panel could be worked in...small billet brake grills, turn signals....may just run without fenders for a while.

Ed...I can't stop playing with these darn fenders. Here's a version with the headlights moved in toward the radiator a chin panel and some signal lights..Your ides is starting to grow on me.

Going to list them in our classified section. Kinda hate to cut them up. I see one fender on eBay for $1000 and these look a lot better. Won't be working on the car until Spring anyway.

See if the eBay fender sell and you will have a better idea of what yours are worth. There can not be a lot of those around especially in that condition. They will make some MG guy very happy. Better that he has them than to run into him at a car show after you cut them up and have him chase you around the grounds with a hockey stick.  ;D
