Hi all,
does anyone have a scrap inner fender they can cut a chunk off and send me? I’m going to get a plastic welder and try and repair the torn holes and I’m guessing stock plastic will be the best thing to use. I don’t want to buy a whole new(used ) one as its not worth it. Unless there is someone local with a good cheap one.
FYI it’s a 72 442 with black wells
thx mike

 

And obviously I’d cover shipping

 

got it -pm sent

 

No point trying to use anything other than same material for filler

looks like jolly has this

good luck
Dont rush it

 

I actually just sent him an email and said don’t bother to send it
the plastic welder I got from harbor freight had plastic sticks and they worked fantastic
its not perfectly smooth but worked great, I had one that didn’t hold but now I have 3 instead of none, the other 3 are rock solid!

 

Nice! Hope it holds long term for you.

 

Me too
i was really
pulling on it and it seemed great

 

good job use a little antiseize when reassembling, they usually rip out when the fastener is stuck and twists the plastic

 

I use a hss tap & drill escpecialy if captured nuts are old in a vise

& if its not a show car or if its unseen.... Epoxy th bastdards so they dont spin...good to see someone whoopin th plastic back in shape.. R u ready for dashes & consoles?? Headlight plastics & grills ?!!??
