72 TA : New Project

[njsteve]

Progress on the driver's side fender. While it was completely rust-free, it had a bizarre series of dents and stretches in the metal that were pretty darn near impossible to massage out without a great deal of body filler. ENOCH ended up cutting out the stretched, damaged metal and welding in a patch panel for that square section. Here is some of the initial work:

Before:



Cutting the patch panel:



Cutting out the mangled fender section:



The incredible visible fender. Note the condition of the internal bracing behind the cut. You'll never find that on an East Coast car!



Test fitting the patch panel:



Hey, maybe we can replace the patch panel area with one of those Motion Performance reverse Corvette fender gill setups.
