Started 68 Cutlass S teardown in ernest
I started my 68 Cutlass S teardown in ernest ts bolrecently. I found somebody to do the body welding for me because my first attempts were aweful.
I just tried to pull the fenders and hit my first snag. All of my top bolts are out but the bottom bolts nearest the door are spinning like there is a nut on the other side. So I move on to the the inner fenders, right? We'll get the inner fender out so that I can get a wrench on the other side of the bottom fender bolts. Nearly all of those inner fender bolts spin. I read on another thread that I should cut off those bolts and replace them and the clips.
Does that seem right? Am I right in thinking that I won't be able to get the bottom fender bolts off until I can get the inner fender out?
I'm looking ahead a bit, but my next question is, has anybody found a source for patches for the rear quarter? I basically have a 4 " section that needs cut out right at the top of the lip of the wheel opening.
Thanks in advance for any help. I love this site so far, it's been a great motivator.
