So, the second fender... Was looking even worse, with rust and some dents:








So as usual I took it to bare metal:














I beat it back to shape with Dolly/Hammers and the english wheel, like here:


And for the front part I had a NOS part but decided to keep it for somebody needing a bigger repair, and to use it as a template for my patch panel :




















And then adjusting it:




Tacked:




And welded:






Then the light bowl:




And in primer! As with the other one, only let the back bottom to be adjusted/welded when positioned on the car:




Just with some grips for the motivation :


Bests

So, here are the next steps on the front mask !
The openings around the nostril were not satisfying so I took care of it:






And done:


After that I built the part behind the nostril, mine were too far gone:


Lots of cutting, adjusting, and of course adding the 3 tabs for the nostril fixation (a 60 only feature !):










And ready to be mounted:




Putting back the horns' support:




Welding the pocket behind the nostril:


And after a blasting session..some epoxy primer and we have a saved front mask :








Thanks for following !

Antoine

I don’t know which is more impressive, your work, or your work place!

Antoine, I've worked on a lot of rusty cars, mainly MOPARs from the 50s and 60s which just dissolved automatically. That said, you've done and are continuing to do a great job.

I'm impressed.
