Welcome, from another J Body driver. Since you are a Chrysler technician, do you have any idea of how to repair the rear fender extensions?
Welcome aboard, Jeff!
Been a while, but I used to work as a technician for a dealership – a long time ago.
Tell us about your ride.

This is my second Mirada my first was an 82 and was also my first car. I was 18 and have been looking for another worthy of a restoration since then. Found her in Jamestown NY with 20641 what I believe is actual mileage. Time will tell when I tear the 'ol 318 down this winter to freshen it up

If most of the fender extension pieces are there they could be hot stapled back together and then plastic welded. From there i would use a polyester glazing putty ( less likely to crack when slightly bent like regular body filler) Then from there use primer filler to hide sand scratches.
I wish Chrysler still had some of these J body parts in warehouses but the parts look up only goes back to 1984.
