Here's some small parts that were not available. So instead of patch work, I decided to take another approach.
I started test panels to see which direct I needed.



Here's a peek at the panel.




Clamping random pieces of iron and metal blocks to manipulate and trap the shape.






An old mason chisel with a polished edge. What ever it takes. :)


Another view of the panel coming together, and the panel to copy.


This is where the lower valance will be bolted to.






Panel almost complete.





Might as well repair the fender edge this panel will mate to.


Part three of panel repair.






Panel 4 being attached to panel three.




Mocked up, and fit is good.


All panels coming together.




So there ya have it, it was a small challenge, to get all panels to fit in place, and fit properly. Now fender two went so much easier.

I still use it I gave in and Pay the minimum to host my picks, $40-50 a year, I was gonna start my own web sight but It hasn't played out yet.
Some day I will get around to it lol till then at least I have my picks up.

I tried other Picture web hosting sights but just dont like the set up PB is simple and convenient to use.
They pissed a lot of people off when they cut the linking service off to free accounts and ruined a lot of automotive forums forever.
Im sure most will never return to them, Its there CEO that did it trying to squeeze money out of common users is so frigging greedy.

Most web sights such as this one usually have there own photo hosting service so pics never get messed up as long as the owner keeps up with the fees he pays for his web sight.
And it doesn't get hacked! I dont know who owns this sight but I thank him and I bet he owns the rest advertised at the top of the page such as Hemiforum.com which has been taken over by Hacks and is flooded by worthless advertisements for Viagra and other unmentionable content and off topic subjects.

Its a real Shame too Its a really cool name it could be a really cool web forum.
