new fender fits


Will they strip it? To find out anything lurking under?

Coming along nice.

Pete,

Can you advise us whether or not you are repairing or replacing with NOS or aftermarket parts on the following:

* TA Hood
* TA Radiator & Shroud
* Frontend Suspension Components (Tie Rods, Idler & Pitman Arms, etc)
* Interior Soft Parts (Seat Covers & Headliner)
* Frontend Parts (bumper, etc)
* Wiring Harness & Fuse Box 

Just trying to understand how original (or not) you are going to go.

Thanks
seat covers are good the headliner came out without damage but i my replace it,  the rad i still need to track down the correct one the one in the car wasnt the correct one and the bumper will be replaced with the proper replacement unit its been alot of work and money as im sure you can image


the fender i got was nice but after stripping it of course there was some patching done which will be fixed correctly and the antenna hole will be filled

Looking great!  Can't wait to see it in color.  Did you do anything to plug various holes before the bedliner was sprayed (i.e. threaded holes, torsion bar holes, etc..)?

When it's done, PLEASE don't put an orange electronic ignition box on the firewall.  Get a pertronix retrofit kit if you want electronic ignition.

One of my biggest pet peaves on restorations on pre-'72 cars. :dunno:

Keep the firewall as clean as possible.
