    Confirmed what I should have verified BEFORE I sold the quarter panel pieces, I need to patch the lower quarters.:banghead: Once I actually got in there with a flapper wheel and some light, they aren't as solid as I had thought. Oh well, that's the way it goes.:huh:

    Tearing mine down for paint and new powertrain. Pulled front clip, front/rear bumpers, quarter extensions and disconnected most everything on the powertrain to pull the engine and tranny.

    I feel your pain, I had a coworker drive my new truck with 1000 miles on it, and did the same thing on a Chicago curb, destroyed a rim, tire, etc.

    Sorry to hear the bad news. Hopefully your rim isn't too bad.
    At least now we know where Curb Hopper gets it from.:biglaugh:

    Took some parts to my friends house so he could decide which ones are going to be the best to use when it comes time for body work and paint.
    Last weekend I got a deal on a bunch of parts so pretty soon I'll have a set of '72 small bumper front fenders, bumper, valance and stone guard for sale. I'll also have the small rear bumper and valance.
