Oh, and I slipped in a front battery box while it was here. Not too proud of the fender work, myself, but the owner didn't want to spirng for a fender. That's big money nowadays. This is just a 500 dollar patch job that won't fall out.
And, I wanted something to do that required hammer forming a piece.
It was good practice and the owner was the first to say that the car was(is) just a practice car. It's pretty bad elsewhere, like the rear end. This car is a surviver, but barely. It got tagged front anad rear, but managed to make it out in the world for a few more 1000 miles before it just died. He picked it up in AZ for 5K.
