    I remember when Most of the bodywork use to be done this way. Body shops, replace parts because it’s cheaper. Kyle, you’re a master.

      I like the original lines of the fenders but after his mockup I'm actually interested to see how his custom look will come out!

      ​@turboflush, yes, the labor costs more. The skills & techniques all servive & are used, but anything that adds labor is removed. Sadly labor costs increase from poor quality parts from china

    I took night classes in the late 80’s early 90’s and several after on auto body repair. 1st thing they taught us was hammer and dolly. I’m very impressed how you massage the metal back. So many today don’t get the hand work and labor that it really takes. Great job bud.

    I remember when I was a little kid 55 years ago. My Dad was one of the last guys in Switzerland that was a trained coachbuilder. At the exam for the master degree they got only a blueprint and they had to build a complicated front fender. The first step they had to build was a template with flat steel stripes, shaping them acording to the blue print, weld the stuff together in a curved cage shape and hammer the sheet metal that it would fit exactly over the steel frame template. An extremely hard task to acomplish.

    Hey Kyle, I think all of us who enjoy not only watching but learning and imagining our projects in the future. Last week our community had our annual "Cruise Night" and car show. 110 cars of every persuasion. I'm of a generation where "hot rodding" meant several trips to the "bone yard" for whatever we could dream up. Yes, some turned into nightmares but that was and still is part of the fun. I also believe in driving what I build. No fun hiding them in the garage. Thanks!!

    Again Kyle, it is a pleasure to watch you work.

No armloads of bog (Bondo) but metal bumping at its' best! Onya cobber, you've got this by the short and curlies.
