Project: "A Body Jr" - 1975 Dodge Colt
My 8 year old and I got some time in on the car today. We pulled front fenders (held on by self tapping screws into the welded fendor supports):angry7:, grille (perfect shape!:toothy10:) and head lights and trim. One of the welded buckets is bent from apparent accident. The previous body work is total hack job. Self tapping screws holding the bottom of the fenders (which look surprisingly good except for the bottom 8 inches behind the wheels), and the firewall to radiator core support butcher job. Regardless, most of the affected areas, including inner fenders, are part of the repair job anyways, and fabricated fenders will allow me to buy as much engine compartment room as possible. The bumper brackets are literally welded to the front frame horns.
