Yes your right on it can be fixed and it will , and in a hurry because I miss driving it when the weather is nice, found a new panel ,and a lead on a used one , they have to check today to see if its not rusted out and not crunched up, digging up all my old body tools ,sanders and paint supply,s thought about just bringing it to a body shop buy most i feel would only throw a gallon of bondo and sand to shape , seen that before , so for it to be right i am going to do it myself , soon, yes dutchwagon the only thing that got hurt was my feelings and pocket book, also I have to replace the hard to find tires on one side , 195/70R13 , got the wheels off my cruse wagon on it now , later guys ,
