1972 Duster, 340/4, black on black (the endgame)
Got the filler work on the worst of the 2 fenders done so I took a break from sanding bondo today to do some welding. Since I beefed up the shell with US Car Tool subframe connectors, I thought I might as well beef up the front end while I was at it:
Both sides are done. The big bracket fit different on the other side-don't know if that was an anomaly with the parts or if the front subframe is still tweaked. It wasn't bad, so I'm not going to lose any sleep over it. Of course I'll have to repaint the engine compartment, but since the overall repaint will be basecoat/clearcoat I've been leaning toward repainting it anyway.
Nice to have this done.
