So I made the other side in one piece and it actually fits the car quite well. I am pleasantly surprised, I think i'm starting to figure stuff out. Some of the advice really helped me so thanks guys. The second panel fit the buck better but not perfect but I'm getting there. I thought I was going to have to make the bucks over again but it was just because the first panel didn't fit the buck not the buck being wrong that on the car it was out of position relative to the wheel. Anyways, here's how it sits and I can still go lower when I air out (air bag suspension system) so yeah! Wire edge: http://i426.photobucket.com/albums/p...r/IMG_7891.jpg Practicing the transition pieces on the bad side: One quick question: should I rough the panel out on the bag or stick to blocking and wheeling only and go slowly like that? Any tips or ideas is always appreciated. THanks alot for the help, this is rewarding work.

Jason!, you have done it, 2 down, 2 to go. You efforts have rewarded you. Excellent job on the recess tool, they look great.

Hey guys, so made another fender for the wrong side, I think I mentioned this already. This one's even better as I'm learning. A couple of questions as I continue moving forward. So where the overall shape of the fender (the main radius that follows the wheel) begins to really curve to the wheel there was alot of stretching required in order to get the to 2 curves to work with each other. I hammered the shit out of it. THis one fits the buck really good compared to the other versions with only some clamps on the fender body-line edge and no pressing down with my hands on the upper parts. Here's my question: why is it raised up now in this very stretched zone and what could I have done differently to get it to sit down yet have both curves. If I can avoid this mistake or correct it somehow then I might be doing ok for the future ones. Here are the pics. (see where it's not flat on the stations)
