Sheet metal. The outer wheel houses.

Re: HELP on a 73 Torino fastback

My only suggestion is by far a crude one at best:
Sacrifice a pair of 1971-1973 mustang wheelhouses, assuming you have to do both sides.
I looked at a 69-70 mustang wheelhouse, and a 71-73 mustang wheelhouse at a local ford mustang resto parts place here in town, and compared wheelhouses, neither are the same, it's going to be a pain in the rear to weld, and is going to be a time suck.
I had to repair my outter on my 1972 GTS, and a few select words were said, all relating to the fact I wish I had my rotisserie built already so I could flip my body for easier welding of the wheelhouse.

Thanks For The Info. I Seen A Set For A Mustang On E-bay A Few Months Ago And Almost Bought Them. I GOT THE NEW QUARTER PANELS, ARE THE MUSTANG WHEELHOUSES GOING TO WORK WITH THEM?

Re: HELP on a 73 Torino fastback

Hey, on the mustang wheelhouses...it's going to have to be modified.
I looked at the 71-73 ones, and the earlier 67-ish ones, and either way, it'll be work.
Only other suggestion is having a local shob fab some for you?
I wish I had a better suggestion, sorry.
