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 Antoine

While I was there playing with the fenders, I adjusted the A-pillar protections mudguards and welded the fixations that were missing:
And then I played with the bottom part of my front mask.. Making the template : And then in metal: Starting with the english wheel: Taking shape : And then more work : Adjusting: Before/after: And welding : Bests Antoine

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

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.
