Wow... Fantastic... Nothing I'd need until the spring,
Keith...

The fender I have on right now is completely bashed in
on the front (and now has started rusting through),
and the top shoulder toward the door is rusted
through. It's the only body panel that's rusting clean
through on the car. Strange place to be rusting...

I'm sure the dents could be pounded out? But I'm a
couple years away from having the skills to patch body
panels...

On other note, it was recently suggested on the list
that bumpers were easy to straighten out? How do you
do that? When the car was hit (before I bought it),
the impact pushed the side of the bumper into the
right front body panel. Before I go replacing the
panel, I'll need to pull the right side of the bumper
back out, the section past the mounting bracket.

Any ideas?
