Starting to weld emblem holes over and don't remember what this hole is for. Its about a half inch wide and there is one on the other fender as well. The fender is off a 65 mustang.

I believe it is used to mount part of the front bumper. Don't quote me though.

 

Look's like the same hole on my 68. It's a bracket hole for the outer edge of the bumper. Without it, it could rub on the fender after you paint the car.

 

it is in fact a mounting hole for the bracket that holds the outer portion of the bumper.

 

Ditto the other responses.

I found a wealth of information in the Mustang factory assembly manuals. You can't go wrong with a purchase of any of them:


Body Assembly
Electrical Assembly
Weld and Sealant Assembly
Interior Assembly
etc.

These are invaluable especially when combined with the Ford Shop Manuals.

 

Tony, back up and take a wider angle picture of the car where that hole is. It doesn't look familiar. Secondly, is it a vert or a coupe or fastback?

 

That hole corresponds to the bumper bracket...where the front bumper mounts.

Man, you guys are fast. I was trying to ask for the year model and a better picture, and after I got back on, you guys already solved the problem. Great job guys.

 

yep def. for the outer bracket for the bumper. man its sooo nice having people on here to help huh?

 

Thanks guys it didn't look familliar to me. I dont think it was hooked up when I dissasembled. I looked in my manual thinking it was for some kind of lighting and glanced at my bumper looking for lights. Guess I can weld it over as well since I am putting on a kit to remove the front bumper.
