My 66 has a late frame under it as the original was rotted. Late front
fenders because even back in 79 early ones I do not believe were available
and an entire new front end with late inner fenders. This was all done when
parts were still available and cheap.
Oh, and a forklift block, 5 speed and MGB-GT seats and numerous other mods.
No one ever said anything to me or cared.
