Can anyone do the job?

I'll tell you what, get your frame checked first and straightened if need be, then come out here to the Inland Empire and I'll take you to the yards here. We can find him a decent fender, hood and lights. I'll help you guys out for the low price of lunch, good conversation and some gas money. Paint is a different story though.

Exactly! We plan to get the frame fixed BEFORE doing anything else or we'll be back to square one if we replace anything. The fender and hood are fine, but seem being pushed. Corner light are amber and headlights are great, nothing is wrong with them. Joe is off on Thurs..Fridays..and Saturday. I'll ask him when is a good day (most likely Friday) and we 100% will take you up on it. If nothing maybe a removal if the fender and pound it back...my wagon too.
Aug 2nd?

It's easier to find a replacement fender. The fact that it's bent and bowed means the metal has been warped. There's the possibility he put the wrong year fender on also by looking at those gaps

I'm quite sure the frame is off at least ¼ of a foot. The fender was sourced by our member Wilson...could be the person who had it was off, but I don't think so. So all will be revealed at the frame shop.
Thanks

From the photo of the wreck, I'd say theirs more than likely minimal if any frame damage.

This is fairly high, and the fender isn't even buckled into the A or B post.

When Frames are bent, they are not 1/4 of a foot. ( if they are the car is a goner) They are normally out of spec 1-5 mm. That will make a big difference in tire and axle wear. Fenders can be reamed to fit properly, brand new oem fenders must have that done many times.

You may need to take some measurements of your spindle etc, and make sure those aren't whats bent. Although Your radiator support is not part of your frame and you can tweak it almost by hand to fit where it should be properly. Just make sure all your gaps look good before tightening down any bolts, and check to see if the hood is latching correctly, if so tighten everything down and walla.

Just to let you know....that accident happened about 4 years ago. Yes I know it's a long time ago..but my son has no interest in the car other than transportation. The car is still in my name and I want it fixed.
After the accident, we had the entire parts replaced behind that tire. Fender and corner lights replaced. The only thing I noticed is the side where hit..inside area is almost near the P/S pully. Ok not the size I said..I meant ¼ of an inch. Vacum boost and tube are real close to that pully. I will convince Joey to get the frame looked at..then go on from there...I will snap a photo of the engine. I think a bit of a pull will work and either another fender or pull the one it has on... IDK. Most likely a new one. 91 coupe

Whatever happened with this? Any news on the frame? Any work done?

Joe moved and the $ went for the move...I talked to him today (9-9) and we will set up a list on the fixes. I think before anything, he needs to see if the frame was bent when it got hit on drivers tire. He said "next month when his $ is back to being able to use for the coupe." You know old blabber mouth me will keep you all informed.
