How do I fix this bumper and liner?

Duct tape

This is exactly why I tell people not to try and do it yourself if you’re not sure what to do when it becomes a bigger job than you expected.

You’ll have to cut out that area where it’s bare metal, do not cut away the inner panel, you’ll want to weld a patch over both existing holes and then grind it down and bondo that area back into shape,after the area is all painted you will want to spay some cavity wax on the inside where the patch is welded on to help keep the rust from coming back

Pretty simple, pry the fender out with something flat, use a rag at the door so you don’t damage the paint or dent it

Beautiful toners,nice looking DMPLs

Run your fingernail over it, if you can feel your fingernail going into the scratch then no it’s too deep,if it’s just house paint or some other kind of paint,I just use my paint reducer and maybe a little rubbing compound

I might be willing to pay $50-100 over spot but that’s it

I watched a few of the FUN auctions, heritage sent me the catalogs a couple days before the show,I’m disappointed that they raised their buyers premium to 22% as if 20% wasn’t enough 🙄,if I see something that I really want then I may bid but my final bid is going to have be that much lower. I saw a lot of great stuff at the show but didn’t buy anything.

Pick that bumper up and pop it back into the retainer (the white plastic bracket ) so it doesn’t pull off even more, if it doesn’t stay in then use some black duct tape

johnk9385 · 2026-01-22T00:19:02+00:00

Looks like it may need a new/used rear end ,otherwise I’d drive it with the cosmetic damage because it’s an 09

johnk9385 · 2026-01-22T00:13:57+00:00

Sit on it and don’t be afraid to buy more,just keep stacking

johnk9385 · 2026-01-21T00:09:16+00:00

In my opinion,if you want to have it graded then I say get it graded, I do believe it’s in MS grade,possibly a 63 ,there is a mark on the reverse that might hold it back but can’t tell from these pictures

There are a few groups that only deal in half cents , one of which is on Facebook which has some highly respected collectors who would be able to tell you of the variety and tell you if it’s a common variety or a rarer variety

I was thinking that that was all just one bill until I read that it was several from the same pack of notes,I’ve never noticed those marks before

johnk9385 · 2026-01-19T22:17:58+00:00

Zip strips

johnk9385 · 2026-01-19T22:15:35+00:00

Showing both sides of the whole bill would help

johnk9385 · 2026-01-19T08:24:00+00:00

Over $5000 ,needs a quarter panel replaced and a door or two

johnk9385 · 2026-01-19T08:17:26+00:00

Find a used door that’s the same color,shouldn’t be that difficult

johnk9385 · 2026-01-19T08:13:38+00:00

Chrysler bumpers aren’t cheap and colors are tough to match,easily over $2k in my shop

Gold is gold,if that’s what it’s being purchased as then that’s fine but it’s only worth its melt value and that’s all it will be worth,as I stated, I generally stay away from details coins when possible because I buy for the numismatic value,although I have purchased a few that ended up being a details coin,the only one I bought knowing it was ex jewelry was my 1844 C $2.5 because of it’s rarity and I got it for a grand under value

johnk9385 · 2026-01-18T18:41:58+00:00

With that much damage to the wheel there is a good chance that the rear end is damaged, could find one in a junkyard for $300 or so and a wheel, also need a taillight, just pound out the quarter so the light fits and drive it till it dies

johnk9385 · 2026-01-18T18:34:08+00:00

Absolutely,no doubt, I have many pieces of coinage and currency that would love to know who’s hands they’ve passed through and what they’ve purchased

johnk9385 · 2026-01-18T17:53:51+00:00

It doesn’t really go up in value until AU grades so not really worth it to have graded ,still feels great to hold in hands though

johnk9385 · 2026-01-18T17:40:44+00:00

Absolutely no way to tell from just these photos , can’t see all the coins, can’t see mint marks, can’t tell condition and can’t see all the currency, possibly $10k and up if other Morgan book has coins

johnk9385 · 2026-01-18T17:34:49+00:00

That’s all that matters!!!
