Re: '55 International Metal/Body/Paint Work

The right fender didn't fit the bedside stamping, there were dips and waves around the mounting flange.








Made a template of the stamping shape.




Made reference marks to line up the fender to the template.




Dips show up against the template.






Game plan for straightening, I'll use the shrinker/stretcher.




Set up a stand with the shrinker/stretcher inside.






Dip gone from the top after a few rounds of shrinking/stretching.




Test fit on the truck, still need to work on the corners and allow room for the fender beading.
