Did you score some fenders and wheel wells or are you gonna patch them?

4dranch · 01-20-2010, 12:31 PM

I had found the inner fenders a while back. just waiting till I found some fenders before I replaced them. that way I do it all at one time.

I drive past this little car lot all the time and have never stopped in before.
yesterday he has a 63 GMC out front so I stopped. he wanted $1000.00 for it and it has transmission problems and some idiot sprayed gloss black paint on everything..even the chrome grill and bumper..

Anyway, I told the man I only needed some parts for this era of trucks.
He said "whatcha need" I told him, and he said follow me.
We went into the little shop he had and there sat a cherry 65 swb under clear plastic. it was his project truck. Now I know why he had the plastic on it, I drolled all over it.. he then said follow me...we then went out back to his little salvage yard and there they were 7 or 8 trucks lined up in a row. what a sight..

we talked for long time about trucks and stuff. I will get the parts I need this weekend. I took some crummy phone pics. But you kinda get the idea of what I meen. I will take some more pics Saturday.

4dranch · 01-22-2010, 08:45 AM

Buddy of mine came by last night to help me lift the hood and finish off the vanilla rum.

Then I dove on in and got the drivers inner fender removed.

protrash64 · 01-22-2010, 10:43 AM

Yeah, cruisin' along and you have to pull out the 9/16th's socket for that 1 bolt up into the core support.....

I new you were going to ask that.

Once I finish up with the drivers side and get it back together and then get the passenger inner fender off and out of the way I should have plenty of room for my fat butt to get in there and work

.
I have new bolts ready to go in because I know I'll have to cut the old ones out.

4dranch · 01-22-2010, 03:54 PM

Kinda slow right now at work, so I brought some parts to work with me.
My door panels and the drivers side inner fender got some work done on them.

Joey~AP · 01-22-2010, 04:16 PM

What are ya gonna do with the door panels? I covered mine in material.

4dranch · 01-22-2010, 04:26 PM

they will be painted someday...I hope
