Default Can you tell what is strange in this photo?
Okay, first off I just picked this car up a few weeks ago as a projet. Got a steal on it because it needs some love.

While working on it the other night I noticed something strange. Can you pick it out?


(yes, the paint needs love, the rockers are odd and the hood is not actually shut)

Hint: look near the tip of the headlights.

Headlight washers? The bent hood? No front plate? Do all later cars have that bend in the front section?

There is a VERY small, semi critical detail missing. ( and a little hard to see clear in the photo, but you can tell)

Ding Ding Ding!!!!


Here is a zoom of that spot. There are no seams on this front end, the nose piece is part of the fenders.

Probably

I have delt with a few of those in the past. For the price and my intentions it is fine.

I was playing with it last night and I "think" the panels are welded together, not just filled with filler.

Ouch, that's kind of a double hit...it was apparently in a wreck, AND the repair work wasn't done very well.
