I have two parts cars that have worn out their welcome where I have been keeping them outside for the last 5+ years.
one chassis was a stripped parts car when I got it...I just couldn't let the guy take it to the cruser so I took it. the other car has some stuff I like but the car has issues. it was wrecked in the front end at some point and a body shop grafted a 73' front end on to the 74' chassis. it just didn't turn out perfect...the front bumper fit had issues. they did a decent job of doing a slant nose effect to the front fenders and put some 944 type fender flair/lips on the fenders. The front and rear fenders are what I would like to save...How do I remove them from the unibody? |

I book markeed the site for future reference... I want to save the whole front fender though with the slant (they planed off the turn signals) body work. What do I need to cut with? some kind of roto zip tool? |

Sawzall. Cut the inner fender. The inside of the front hood seal is where the fender is spot welded on. You'll have to take it past the cowl and into the pillar.
