How to section a fender, Not that I wanted to, but when there's no choice... Options

During my journey to try to get Sandy's car ready for the WCR I discovered another huge dent in the left front fender. I worked hard to try to get the damage out but there was no way I could be happy with the end result. So I have a Ravenna 73 parts car. It's a MN rusted hulk with a brazed patch on the bottom. I cut the best parts off the salvage fender and saved what I needed to repair the damaged fender. I sand blasted it inside and out so it's nice and clean. You will see the lower section looks a little rough but I'm not done working it. It was hammered to death so all in all it's a very good repair. I will only use primer on the welded seam over the wheel.





Notice my body file in the photo. I didn't use a grinder. I just filed the welds to finish.

I've had several contacts lately asking me to do some work but again my job is sucking the life out of me.

Bummer. Seeing how straight your black car is I keep thinking of towing mine up to your place to get the body work done. I doubt I could afford it but the thought does keep coming to mind.
