Re: Frankentruck
Back on the grind today.
Made a bunch of progress on the fender over the past couple of hours. It is mostly welded in, but I still need to weld the inner brace onto the bottom of the fender and also bend the flange over and weld the cut up.
The fender looks to match up pretty well with the line I drew on a piece of cardboard from the uncut fender.
I still need to do some body work to the weld areas, but cleaned the paint off under the emblem and wanted to see how the rattle can I'll be using to blend in will end up looking. I'm fairly confident the fender is still original paint, so I'm quite pleased with how the rattle can matches to the paint under the emblem.
I'm going to do some more body work on the fender tomorrow and get that repair finished up. Then on Monday, I'll start repairing the top side that bolts to the inner fender.
