Fender Repair

HOLY FENDER!

 

Fender removed for repair.

 

Holiness removed.

New fender section being shaped for fit. Needs some more bend.

Sized and shaped section clamped to welding table for flush fit and welded from back side.

Now with fender securely mounted on the car, the repair section is welded from front to fill in the small seam and allows it to be ground smooth so less filler is needed before painting.

 

Suck, that was a lot of grinding! But the panel is pretty smooth. Also note, the bend at the front wheel well opening, that was hammered in once the welding was solid and then welded and ground smooth. the bottom flange just needs to be drilled and secured with bolts so the whole fender is easily removable.
