Bolt-On Body Parts: Front Fenders

The front fenders were in fairly good shape. I had to remove the usual amount of undercoating and some 1/4 inch rod someone had brazed into the fender rolls for support.

Repairs

There were a couple of tears on the edges that required patching. To make the patch, I cut out the torn piece, made a patch piece from 20 gauge AKS, tacked it in and then welded it solid. I also replaced the weld nuts that are used to attach the headlight buckets.

After the fenders were stripped and patched, they were cleaned with DX 579 and DX 520 and then primed with DP 40.
