I'm needing to replace the inner fenders in my 72 dart. I was wanting to know if this something that can be done at home or does a pro need to replace them? I guess i'm wanting to know how big of a job it is.
Thanks Corey

"New" inner fenderwell from 68 Dart:





I'm not an expert and my welding skills fall under the "metal melting" category and this came out pretty good.

One more thing. I did cut up the damaged metal before cutting the spot welds. I figured that I would stand less of a chance of hurting the good parts if I wasn't trying to get it all out at once.

Nobody. A local guy was parting a real clean 68 four door and let me cut the front end off.

I replaced both inners and the core support on my 68 Barracuda. Was very easy to do. Just get ready for a lot of drilling

Auto metal direct makes these now. I checked over a set at Carlisle this year and they are very nice. Sharp contours and thick metal.

$399.95 for a pair. I'm sure some of the distributors have even better prices.

Thanks again,
