    Had a similar situation and/or decision to make with my 72…rear driver’s side quarter panel was impacted - damage was worse than yours. Everything aligned when put on Celette. Decided to preserve original metal - probably cost me more but peace of mind is priceless. If you would like to see before,during, and after pics, pm me your e-mail; car is in Costa Mesa so you can see for yourself also.

    Doesn’t look like a really bad hit, but hoping you’re ok? The car can always be fixed.

    He must do a lot of file work after that and spray a lot of high build primer to cover all those peaks and valleys. The flare has high and low spots everywhere. Good to see there's still an old guy alive doing it.

    yes
    the metal work was not ready for lead
    needs a shrinking disk to smooth things out
    i did lead on the body seams that the factory did when building my car just for the hell of it
    it is actually easy once you learn to tin the metal.

    R/F fender wasn't in very good condition before the latest impact. I agree with the previous assessment that so much might have been already tweeked to make that fender fit that replacement with a new unit might be far from a simple "bolt-on" job.

    Porsche quarters are fantastic as well. Apart from great fitment, the quality of their stamping is exceptional with sharp corners and well-defined lines.

    Bittersweet seeing a video from John Edwards, as he passed in 2017. Henry at Supertec used him for machine work and I spent quite a bit of time at Costa Mesa R&D trying to learn from John; after I moved to CPR we still used him occasionally. Hell of a chili chef.

    My apologies for the hijack as well.

    Hey Caston 901. Remember. Those 68 fenders are 1 year only. They are “cut” on the edge to accommodate the larger 5.5 wheels…
    I am headed to my warehouse tomorrow and believe I have an absolutely Perfect 68 fender….. I have been saving….. need to make sure which side it
    Is. Pm me with your email and I will get you some pics.

    Do not go to CPR in Fallbrook.

    Louis Parras in Westminster could be an option.
