69 Valiant - Rookie
So, some progress. I replaced the pitman and idler arms while I was down there. Got the engine back in, and everything running. Next I stripped the passenger side fender, shaved the sidemarkers and radio antenna hole and did a little rust repair.
The lower rear part of the fender, where it attaches to the frame in front of the rocker... it was rusted out pretty bad. What metal was left, was brittle too. So, I made my own piece to go there. I'm pretty proud of how it turned out, for my first time doing this sort of thing.
I put the fender on the car just for a test fit, and it fits like a glove.
