Has anyone ever replaced, or had replaced the front fenders on a chrome bumper
midget? I am going to have the left front fender and headlamp assembly replaced
on a 1972 Midget. The insurance company of the driver who ruined the fender by
backing into it will cover the cost. However, the auto body shop that I have
dealt with in the past wouldn't even discuss the job since they have enough
late model cars coming through their doors to keep them busy. While I search
for someone I trust to do the work, I'd like to have an idea of what it should
cost before I accept or negotiate over the $900 check that the insurance
adjuster offered (according to the catalogs, the fender alone is around $500).
If it's of any help, the car is solid with practically no rust (since one shop
owner said he didn't like to work on older cars because the rust creates
unforeseen problems.
Any experiences shared would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Butch
