Much better condition to start with than the one I did. This is a very restore-able PU, wish it were on the east coast. :>

You sure Kerry? It has been repainted and down by the ocean for a part of its life (hence the rust around the windows). So it difficult to tell the extend of the rust on it. Then there is the bed.... and the price. 6,500 starting bid with a buyout unkown (10-15k is my guess) if it is anything like that 36' PU that went up on ebay with a starting bid of 14,995 and sold with one bid, un-restored requiring full restoration and rusty.

Guys, I took another look with my desktop pc that has a much bigger screen than my I-pad. Without seeing the underside it's not a give, but the one I worked on was pretty bad when we got it stripped down, lots and lots of body work required and every item had to be taken apart and rebuilt.
The one in the auction is better but not by much. It will take much "moolah" to even have a decent ride, much less a real restoration.
I'll move on!

Hmm, drill three-sixteenth inch holes in a grid pattern, every inch or so apart, over the entire dented in area. I'm going to have to try that.

they probably used an old slide hammer to pull the dent out of that fender since it required holes to be drilled into the part.... but you would think they would weld them, dress them and cover with a little filler.

Hope they have a lot of restoration money and time going to need a lot of both ...just saying

Yes they did. But why do that when you can get to the back of that front fender? Slide hammer type of dent pulling is for when you can't get to the back of a panel. ...Not that I would ever do it at all. Just thought it was funny that they had a dent that is probably in the most easily accesable part of the vehicle, and they decided to make it hard. They would of been better off to knock the dent out with a rock, then mud it over.

bent metal, maybe because of lack of experience?

Yeah! Or good sense.

If you are old like I am, this was the approved method for fast fender repair. The other method was heat shrink and a good hammer. Never did like this system--it is much like stuffing the hole with steel wool and putting filler over it. I have seen both in my work. The positive side is that it can be repaired. Same method as filling a bullet hole....

Sure looks like a lot of "quarter inch bondo" that's cracking out on the fenders. Wonder how much is left under all that?

That grill almost makes those '37's worth the price of admission, though. . . Sure wish I'd bought those 2 running '37 coupes for $200 each back in the 60's- should have known better than to listen to my dad. . . Oh, well, I'd have probably just flipped them long ago when someone offered $500.
