Did you do this conversion yet? I'm almost finished doing this conversion myself. The main problem is finding a good donor tail panel for a 60 year old car. I actually found out that the quarter panels are not exactly the same. The Tempest has a slight radius / hump above the tail light. It isn't much and can be made out of some body filler. I ended up piecing mine using 4-6 inches of the donor quarter panel above the tail lights. The angle under the trunk lid where the factory spot welded the tail panel to the quarter is not the same also.
You also have the issue of the Tempest housing gaskets not sealing to the LeMans tail light panel and the studs are in different spots.
Man I sound like a downer. It can be done but is isn't as simple as one would think.
