Hey Doc
I stopped at the shop tonight and checked the fender and rear 
quarter trick out. The wheel well mouldings won't work on my 77. We 
did cut up some of the left front fender to patch right rear 
quarter. I picked up a fender off a spirt up at Iola and it will 
work on my gremlin with a little modification, so the rusty fender 
is getting used for parts. I might be driving this Gremmie in primer 
soon, but unfortunately not to Kenosha soon.
