Re: Passenger Side Lower Front Guard Section

Thanks guys for the options.
Clay I could maybe fabricate something the problem that I see is that whoever had the guard just cut straight across and the folded piece (that bolts to the A pillar) is totally gone and so is the doubler fold that runs over the wheel arch.

I'm a long way from needing ...

Re: Neil's FB Station Wagon

Thanks for the offer Brett but I have a pair of old Taylors panels that have the sides as well as the top sections.

And yes it is hard to get the top line lined up properly that's why I didn't show the photo of the passenger side I tacked in, got it slightly out so am going to have to go back and ...

Re: Front springs, LS powered, HR front end, HZ stubs.

Re: Neil's FB Station Wagon

Not as much as I really want Clay but I don't have the luxury of walking out the back door and going into my workshop anymore so I'm trying to get as much done as I can.
