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.   |

QUOTE(76-914 @ Mar 29 2012, 09:26 AM)  very nice work, Rick. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/pray.gif) now I know what a $3000.00 fender looks like. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lol-2.gif) Actually, I have to correct myself. My son came over Saturday night to help me start masking the car for primer when we hung the door we discovered the gap issue. So actually I started on the car Sunday not Saturday. Sandy helped me keep the fender gap aligned Sunday night. So really it's like 14 hrs not 24.... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/screwy.gif) Who keeps track. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) So primer should be on this weekend. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif) |
