Anybody that would cut up a NOS fender.....
Is smart enough to start with good rust free material! [ddd[ddd[ddd
Looks like it was made to be cut there. With my luck, it would have never fit and would have had gaps big enough to throw a house cat through!
Thanks for all the positive comments.
Look at the 3rd pic for a example to go with your "Throw a house cat through" comment. Bama.
[ddd It still happens.
My gaps are tighter then some make but there is still a gap. I know the welds penetrate as when I look at the back side i see it.
Also. I don't grind my welds flat to the metal as I skim coat everything and then block the crap out of it.
I was a body man. Never a metal shaper like our friend dutch.

I always try to learn something when I do stuff and I learned from doing the DS rear fender and applied it to the PS.
The main differences are...
The lower cut at the rear went further forward on this side.
I made a jog cut at the front and on the DS I went straight through.
I also made the long cut a bit higher off of the fender lip.
And perhaps the most important lesson. I did the PS with the fender hanging on the car instead of trying to wrestle with a cut apart fender on the table.
The end results were the same but with less cursing.
So off with the clamps and on with the tacks.
Thanks for looking in on me....
Keep on keeping on.
