Fender Removal?
I am planning to replace driver side fender due to quick repair from "fender bender" back in the 70's, and now bondo (filler)is cracking along with some rust. What would be the main hang up I should expect? Cutting, welding, shims? Thanks for the time.

How bad is the damage? Post a pict.
This what I had to replace.
Look at the bondo packed-in.

Hi Jonnynitro. I have'nt got it down to metal, but a magnet won't work anywherebelow the fender flare. I also see patch work just above the fender skirt. Obvious also is that the top of the fender where the windshield meets, there is about 1/4" gap, telling me that the fender was pulled down upon impact to lower portion of fender. I will post some pics soon. What format and what size do you post your pics? Your pics always turn out clean.

Man, replacing a fender is easy...Get yourself some shims and line that stuff up and bolt it down and call it good. Just kidding, Getting your lines err... lined up is gonna make it the difficult art...
