Thats the fender from my 69 Cutlass. Last October I went to U.S 41 dragstrip in northern Indiana. The car ran a best 11.82 at 114mph. I got greedy and decided to see how far into the 10's I could get so I decided to run nitrous. The car hooked REALLY hard and sheared all 5 wheel studs of the drivers side rear, steering the car into the dividing wall.

It bent the frame and mangled the front of the car. Got the frame straighten and most of the parts to repair it. Moral of the story is wheel studs are now going the be replaced on a regular schedule. I also would not pay a dime for Moroso wheel studs! I upgraded to ARP 1/2 screw in-studs and hopefully will have it back together later this year.

Nope, the door handles and mirrors are still attached!

Can some one provide the used spares for the car which are in good condition , I have searched most of the scrap shops of my area but not able to find the front bumper for the car and new one cost much more expensive from agency .
