Headlight bucket is back in and I'm taking a 5-er from ripping the replacement fender from the superfluous garbage. Another 30 minutes and I'll be starting the actual fender graft. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif) Zoom!

Patrick, up to the minute pictures have been uploaded. Check em out!

I know that taking and posting pix is time consuming and I want to acknowledge what a great marketing tool it is. I have had another major project in the works that was supposed to be documented as well but shot happens you know. Anyways I appreciate it!

Here's a pic of the organ donor

Looks good Mark and Pat! Can you show the rear of the fender? I'm going to remove a fender soon. Your donor looks like it has some of the inner wheel well metal. Was this a rough cut before trimming? I'm thinking I just need to drill out the spot welds.

I'll take a picture of my parts car later today.

I like a 1/4" drill bit for spot welds.

This was a rough cut. I heading out now to do the final fitting and welding.

I have the paint in spray cans from Tower Paint, but I'm sure it'll look like a spray can job if I do it (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smile.gif)

I don't need a show job either, just want the car to be semi-one color....

What kind did you get? I've read the Carbide type is stronger than Hardened steel...

Try a search for spot weld cutter. I found this one that has a pic of the one I bought. In retrospect t's a little large, but a smaller size is available.
