Mike's '67 Fastback Featuring Super Slow Progress
Got ambitious last night and started to remove front end stuff, it started out as let's see what behind the grill looks like, but turned into every thing but the fenders and hood came off. All while watching my two year old and keeping her in the yard.
I ended up having to leave the passenger side light attached as the po used a carbon steel screw to attach the headlight surround and it was hopelessly seized. Next came the lower valance then bumper, not the proper order I know, not sure what I was thinking.
Is there supposed to be a large gap between the fenders and the header panel on the bottom?
Next came the header panel, which had 2" hex head bolts inside the fender on the passenger side. This is the crap I am dealing with though out the car so far. Notice on the second picture the lean of drivers side fender, they never bolted the bottom to the rad support. The fenders were also not attached to the valance so every time you closed something, ie a door it rattled. :banghead: I stopped counted how many fasteners are not present already.
The lower radiator support is going to need to be replaced, it is solid but bent, I may fab a stronger one up when I get there.
