Thanks for the vote of confidence, Sheldon, but I'm no body guy, But I'm not as worried about myself handling them as much as some dudes at the shop that don't give a rat's behind if they chip or scratch something. I'm wonderin if this frame guy from the body shop will ever show,or if I gotta shop somewhere else.Hate chasing people around so I can throw money their way!

More trouble with this patch, than the rest of the car so far. I'll move onto roughing it up, more epoxy then some fiberglass filler....

on the diff. 71/72 inners, what i know is on drivers side top on 72 there is bulge for battery hold down bolt, to top of inner fender as your is. early 71's didn't have bulge as battery bolted down different. but i have seen some 71's from diff. plants that do have bulge ,but no threaded nut for hold down. for what its worth.
Interesting...I'll have to check my repo's...not that it matters on this satellite, if it's not there, but a high-dollar correct resto might be a different story. The repos, at first look, seem to be nice, though.

Well I couldn't stand looking at the swiss cheeze gutters any longer, decided to play a little and make a couple of patches thanks to my 74 donor Charger parts car. It would have been simpler to order repo gutters from AMD. but this way I get to practice metal work and welding  Here's a pic before the epoxy primer went on to show the extent of the gutter rot.
