Sure, but then why bother deleting the marker lights? '72 fenders are harder to find since they're one year only, and the OP said it was a '71 donor car anyway.
I should have phrased that differently. Instead of "Could have" (which made it sound like there was '72 fenders under the paint and body work) I should have used "Should have" to imply that the guy who converted it should have used '72 Fenders to avoid deleting the lights.
