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.
