Re: 1947 Biederman Truck Fender repairs

Some more work on the Biederman fenders..

A paper pattern was taken from the front of the fender to use as a guide to cut out the new piece from 16 ga cold rolled steel.







Some 19 gauge was hemmed flat and the Erco kick shrinker used to make profile templates for the horizontal and vertical directions..













The initial shape was added with a blocking hammer and shot bag, and finished on the Wheeling Machine..






Getting close....








This video shows the progress so far, as well as the rust on the leading edge we're repairing..
