15. Just like it was for me, the first one will be for free. I put a big ass dent in the same exact car when I was about a year or so older than her. Also thinking of just waiting on a fix until she moves on to another vehicle so she can remember what not paying attention does every time she sees it.

I spent some time looking and didn't find anything.
According to Wikipedia, the Plymouth Belvedere, Plymouth Savoy, Plymouth Satellite, Dodge Charger, Plymouth GTX and Plymouth Road Runner are related. Doesn't mean the parts will match but you might get lucky on one of them. Sounds like the Plymouth Satellite might be the best bet. AutoMetal Direct might carry fenders for some of them. I'd also broaden the search for '71 and '72 models as that's the introduction of the new body style. You can set up a search on Ebay and hope that one will show up. I'd also use one of the parts services that puts out requests to junk yards. You might as well pull it off and see what else you'll need. Probably the inner fender shield, trim, etc. Lets see some pics. Here's a 73 Plymouth Satellite fender for a two door on Ebay. Pricey buggers. Here's one for a four door. |

I'll get out tomorrow when there's light and take some pics. Pretty sure the panel is done.

And pics of the fun:
To be fair, the round hole was there from trim or a logo being removed and the rubber gasket that was in the front gap went away a long time ago. I have no idea how that tag light survived. |

I have no idea how that tag light survived. Not that bad really. That's fixable for sure. Considering how much replacement panels are, I'd bump that out. You'll probably never get a good match on the paint though. Though a good painter might. |

That's better news. For some reason I had figured that once it mashed that top fold or got that small rip in it that was it for the panel.

Easy fix. I would weld a flat plate on that body line, hook a come a long to the plate and pull it out. Remove plate then hammer and dolly as needed.

I'll keep those suggestions in mind. It's not getting replaced or repaired though anytime soon. Kid neglected to tell me about strange sound from right front wheel for a few weeks. Now the bearing sounds like a rock tumbler. If she keeps driving, she can drive what looks like a junker if she wants to treat it like one.

Now the bearing sounds like a rock tumbler. THAT repair will only get more extensive and expensive if you let it go. Bearings and races are usually not that bad. Spindles can be a problem. |

Yeah, the bearings are getting replaced. It's the not telling me about the noise when it first started that has me peeved.

Those old cars used thick enough sheet metal that they can be worked. Finding a good body man that can actually work it may be the hard part anymore.
