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.
ThanksOuch

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.Star
