Been awhile since I updated this, I'm still working on it though progress has slowed a bit since taking more restoration projects at the shop. We started on a '66 F100 about a month ago, and that's been taking up a good bit of time.


Here is the process to straighten the driver side fender. The wheel opening was crushed in on the back edge and there were dents everywhere.








Comparing the shape with the flexible straight edge, shows about a 1/4" gap.




Kink in the inner flange.




Kink straightened.




Working out the crushed spot.






Dents marked... I had to sharpen the pencil a few times to get them all










Overall shape of the crushed spot is back where it should be.




Dents fixed, metal shaping done and ready for epoxy and skim coating.






This angle shows the wheel opening shape pretty good.
