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.   |

Hey, Rick. Beautiful work as always.
You helped me with some advice on a rear fender I sectioned a few weeks back. Panel shrinkage had pulled my rear trunk gap in a bad way. Last weekend, i welded in the patch and the gap is now good, I'm happy to report. however, I have not ground my welds yet. Any advice on that so that the grinding heat and cooling doesn't hurt the gap i just fixed? I'm wondering if this is why you specified that you filed your welds on the repair above. |
