i just recently bought a 1971 challenger and got it for cheap because of this, hopefully not too big, problem. the passenger side inner fender panel is coming off of the firewall where it looked to be factory welded. the guy i bought it from roadraced it and must've crashed it hard for this to happen or maybe it's a common problem? i am going to tow it to several bodyshops getting estimates and find out what needs done to fix it but after what my brother went through w/bodyshops and his camaro i dont feel i can trust them. i need to know, has this happened to anybody else and if it did how was it fixed? can i re-weld it on, PROPERLY and with lots or precision or do i need to buy this piece from a junked car that is in better condition? when the car is sitting flat it looks as if the fender is drooping down because it is coming off of the firewall.
ANY help would be appreciated
Thanks,
Marc
