This one is a long shot, I know.

I need the driver inner fender section under the battery for a 73 140. Anyone out there willing to cut it out and ship it? If so, how much?

Hi J,

If you can't buy it, build it.

That's the motto of a Newfie YouTuber. If you search 'Fitzee's Fabrications' on Youtube, you'll find numerous videos on building floor panels, fender panels, and pretty much any sheet metal on a car that's rusted out. His repairs on rusty metal under windows are especially good.

He uses a novel technique that he calls 'cut and butt' which produces distortion free , lapless welded repairs using not much more than a 110 v mig welder and a small grinder.

If your inner fender needs localized patching and you can't find a better one at a reasonable price .

Pete,

You're so right!

Funny thing... I actually found that guy a few months ago and was so motivated by his method that I bought a welder. I started making my own patch, and it's kind of an okay job, but super Roadkill. If I can get my hands on the actual sheet metal, I know I can definitely Fitz it together and make it look decent.

I'm sharing because I'm willing to try, not because I think I'm good.
