Hello, I a live in Old Fort, TN on a poultry farm. retired paramedic after 35 years. I love to restore old fords and currently have a 1969 Torino, GT or Cobra fastback, not sure which one cowl and dash had to be cut out and so went the VIN. I am interested to see if anyone has a drivers side front fender, I have Parkinson's and unfortunately cannot weld and shape sheet metal as I once did, but I still try and try is key phrase, thus I at present require a drivers side door. Also where door jab is located under driver's passenger window is pretty rusty and requires replacing so if anyone has that item let me know. Thanks  ------------- emtp2010 |

Update Everyone keep fingers and toes crossed, I actually got a replacement panel formed, took three days and several old car hoods but I got something that will work. Now to get it cut out and welded back on the fender, update again on Friday.  ------------- emtp2010 |
