I spent all day working on the driver fender.
First off was bending over the patch.

Next I knocked this dent back in place and then welded up the holes.

Last thing to weld up was a patch for this rotted place on the eyebrow.

Hung it on the sawhorse to make it easier to work on.

I didn't take a pic but this corner was packed all the way back to the top of my cut with dirt and rust. It took about 10 minutes to dig and blow it all out.

Not perfect but pretty close and will be fine with some mud.

And here is the fender all stripped, cleaned, welded, and ground ready for some Metal 2 Metal aluminum filler before primer.

This eyebrow part of the fender is one of my favorite parts about these trucks.
