Re: Columbus..the 1957 IH 4x4..

Well , it looks like I'm back on my hectic work schedule for about the next 6-8 months...
Just got done with a 12 day stretch of 12 hr shifts...1/2 a day off and got 9 more nights to go..
Ughh
So I tried to get a little done today..
Plan was to put both rear fenders on..well with the heat, humidity, and lack of sleep , I only did one..
No easy chore by yourself..but I got it..
I acquired some generic fender welting..its got a 1/4" bead
So I started with laying the fender on my woodworking table and tracing around it..leaving a pattern to go by
The welting doesn't turn corners without kinking, so I punched some 3/8" holes 1" apart, then cut Vs in it so it would flex around the curves
