I have had my 73 coupe for about 7 years (first car at 15). Of course I had a beater which was a 97 merc sable. Rott box as well. But anyways I'm going to attatch a few pics of what I am dealing with. The fender aprons are just about shot along with the front of the frame rails where the bumper attachment is. I'm not sure how successful it would be to weld patches in or just replace both sections completely. Never going to get rid of the car so resale isn't my concern.
