Quality custom & restoration sheet metal work & repair
1972 Datsun 510
minor front damage repair
The outer core support area was straightened & rewelded in place
I am going to try & straighten this verses replace, so with some pulling plus a lot of hammer & dolly work plus maybe a little heat it will all come out. I do have a replacement nose section if I want to use it.

The inner side of the core support & inner wheel house cleaned up nice.
I forgot to take pictures of the kinks in the upper rail & the inner fender here they are pulled out & back in alignment.
The front fenders are installed, hood aligned & ready to put the wheels back on & owner take home. Its finished for my part nice fast repair.
With a pull off of the tower I started working out the wrinkles its starting to go back to its original factory shape & not have the waded up look. No heat so far.
No more wrinkled & wadded up mess.

Rust preventative paint was put in the areas similar to the factory paint.
Yes we do small jobs like this on any pre 1980 Vehicles I am just getting it up on my frame repair machine.
Its now ancored to the frame table which is a level & flat surface to work off of with pulling capabilitys.
A front lower valance was installed & welded in place.
Its starting to clean up nicely.
