Why do you have so many bolts around the perimeter of the fender. If they are there holding the fender on, then grind them one at a time and weld them one at a time so they will still hold and fill your hole at the same time.

Bogalusa these are 3/4 ton fenders there is a brace along the edge of the fender but i really dont see the purpose of the brace it's not holding it on and i know the fender is'nt flemsy

Bogalusa? Heck you're not far from me at all. What's the name of that seafood buffet just out of Bogalusa (Bush I think)?

Dude I am in Folsom, grew up in Franklinton. We are only about 20 minutes from you. Krue, I know where you are talking about, cant remember the name though.

Looks like you have alot of holes to fill. I would use a hole saw and cut the size patch need and weld those in, but that would be the hardest way, cutting the heads off and welding the bolts in woud be the quickest.

No, dont trade it for a vette. Your truck is way cooler than a vette.

If you still have it bring it to the block party in Covington when they start back up. I am hoping to have my 68 up and running by then, but I said that last year too. Krue you should come too, it gets bigger every year.

You solve that problem with an INSURANCE quote. Hehehehe.

That truck is a jewell and NO vette could ever compaire.
Unless of course you come up with a split window.;)
