Hi. Today I was taking my old 74 out for a cruise on the highway, speed limit for this section had me going about 55-60 mph. Suddenly a series of loud knocks and bangs followed by some sort of smoke pouring up from the floorboard, just in general very scary. I assumed I had just ruined my engine and so I coasted to a stop on the side of the road and shut it off immediately. Got out to check things over, and sure enough the engine seems to be okay... but the drivers side fender and fender strut is absolutely mangled and my tire is stripped clean of its tread. I had planned on getting new wheels and tires soon anyway so that isn’t too big a deal, but on the other hand my fender is so damaged I can’t even hardly believe it. Im guessing the smoke was just dust from the tire shaving its tread off?
So... I would like to find a good shop or place around the Western Kentucky area that either knows their classic car bodywork or mopars in general who might be able to set me up with getting my fender all repaired up. I’ll include some pictures I took of it too, it’s nasty
