Mark - Don't worry; I know you had your problems too.

I feel like it is Ground Hog day and I can't escape the nightmare.....
Fortunately for me and my Six Kent is 100% on this and knows this is the level of work I want.

Not the continual replacing of panels part.... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lol-2.gif)

...again, plug welds are not as easy to seperate as spot welds.

Kent, when you have a minute ...............

Am I only seeing 2 spot welds from the fender to the cowl ? I thought the one I tore down had 3 on each side with a 6 inch non welded section in the middle.

Yes, true. This fender had been replaced so what your seeing isn't the factory welds.

Thanks Steve. I am fortunate Kent was able to accept my car into his shop. I am so glad to see progress knowing it is being done correctly.

At some point the holes for the side lights and turn signals were welded up on both sides. I'll drill/bore the hole..

If you look, you can see in this pic how the bottom of the bucket is pushed over/inward. Look at the angle of the drain tube and the angle of the bumper bracket.
The second pic shows damage from a previous accident.

Because the inner structure was bad, the fender gap was gone on that side and someone had drilled the bumper bolt holes out to about the size of a quarter. So the bumper would align.

Hi Kent - Thanks for the pictures.

I have no idea why anyone would have welded the holes for the warts and turns signals up. My Six had them on and working when I bought it and was never not going to have them. WTH?

Thanks again - Michael

Kent is not going to be sculpting my 914-6 - that's for sure. That's how they end up weighing 2 tons!
