OMG! Look at those shiny wheels and tires. Starsky and Hutch would be proud!

I saw this on Facebook and thought of you Tom.

Nice 70's paint scheme on that bird!

Saw it as well. those rims are worth good money

Ground away a little bondo to reveal this.. I'm assuming this is a bullet hole..

Hey Tom,
Couldn't these be holes for the dent puller? I think early dent pullers had a screw type tip on it to pull the sheetmetal out. Then they would countersink the top down for the bondo. That's why there was bondo there. Just a thought.

I thought so too but the rest of the sheet metal is perfectly formed.. and the velocity with which this hole was made was very high... who knows

Maybe we need to do some test shots at an ole clunker (preferrably a Ford) in a junkyard to see what the outcome is and compare!

I'd need a guess at the caliber.. I'm clueless about bullet size

It looks like a size of a BB gun ball, but I doubt that would go through the sheetmetal. Maybe a from a shotgun blast, but then the hole would be huge and not a couple. That's why I thought it was from a puller. If you have a BB you could put it in the hole to see if it matches the size.

If the hole is a little smaller than 1/4 inch,it probably was caused by a .22 rimfire slug. A very popular size for poking holes in stuff. Not that I would know anything about that....

That definitely looks like a hole from a 22. Can you see any evidence that the bullet went through and dinged anything else?

I'd have to find the window crank guts and look. Can't measure: its all welded up and bondoed now

Things slowed down because of work etc.. but rallied hard this week. painted the belly with Nason Chassis Black.. Good thing I didn't use this on a stock car.. its too shiny! Looks good on this rig though
