today micros thread inspired me to do some work as some of you know (if you read back that far) my car is a 73 and came with the 73 front end parts but the drivers fender was rather fucked

everyone likes the early front ends lol my hope is to get it passible maybe not show quality at least not yet but passible and once the car gets the rust fixed and real paint have the fender fixed professionally i do plann to flare this car so perfect isnt manditory at least around the wheel well openings

body work in my opinion is an art form and its something i want to learn to do properly but for now ill dabble and go off threads ive seen by the keeper internet research and just going for it im finding that hammer and dolly work isnt as difficult as i thought just tedious and time consuming

thats the idea i dont like the idea of alot of filler on my car its my first adventure in body work and i want to do it "right" im already unhappy that my hood has to be bondo magic due to the way it was screwed up if i cant get these to where im happy im sure a body shop can get them perfect with minimal effort from this point
