I have a 68 coupe and it needs the radiator support and inner fender replaced. I was wanting to know if anyone else has had to do this,and how hard it is to do. I dont know what all it consist of. I would appreciate any info that would help out,or should i have someone do it that knows what they are doing.

not to hard to do if you have a mig welder,spot weld cutter,mini grinder,clamps,all that stuff.if your car is a show car you will want to have the new parts spot welded in place.if its not a show car they can be plug welded with a mig welder.judges can tell the difference.if you do it yourself put the car on jack stands,measure up,down,front,back,diagonal.clamp scrap angle stock to the other side of the car to hold things in place while your working.if something can shift around when your welding,it will.
cut. fit. clamp. weld. grind. clean. prime. paint.assemble.drive.
its not that hard,take your time and have some fun. good luck
