Update - Passenger side fender

Finished the fender, patching and welding up all the little holes anyway. This thing had those large farm truck mirrors at some point. I ended up finding a lot of old patch work that needed fixing. Welded up a torn tab. Slapped a little paint on the welds until it goes to media blast.

I found a several of these little patches one of the PO's made as some point. They look to be a screw that is held on by a bracket on the back side of the sheet metal. Looks like the way they filled holes back in the day. The head of the screw was ground down to match and then mudded over. I got rid of 3-4 of them. Filled them with weld and moved on.
