You certainly seem to enjoy the work. I like to check in and watch your progress as i’m sure others do as well.
Keep it up, nice job

Thanks Sarki. I am just documenting so other users can do the same thing if they choose to. With the Replacement fenders project in the rust built. 4 bolts may give you grief and snap. The 2 under the fender and the 2 in the front side of the fender as they both are way too close to the wheel and rust just can really seize them up
On the Front bumper if never removed in the rust belt. Your 2 corner nuts will be seized and probably going to have to buy new brackets. I have had mine off several times in the last few years and its under fluid film so it comes right off.
The homemade bracket was made out of half of a 2 x2 square tube i just cut in half and to fit. I tacked to hold in place and marked so I could drill and weld nut in the inside. Once I had the nut welded on I painted and welded the bracket into place. So now i have my 2 bottom holes back for my fender to be held in place. :-)
