Re: [BaadAssGremlins] Re: Patch Panels for a 77 Gremlin Quarter panels? Partial quarters?

[AMC74HORNET@xxxx]

Glad to hear the trick worked. Sorry I didn't say it would not fit
without some work, but it is much better than starting out with a flat
piece of sheet metal. Sorry to hear you will not make Kenosha. Due to
poor health I will not make the show in Ct. this year. I have gone for
the last 4 years in a row.

  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.
