Wow, there was a lot of work to do on the left fender! I started this morning by continuing on the same fender I started on Thursday, by repairing a few small patch pieces before I got to the lower fender patch. I welded on a new nut for the missing front core support, and then cut out all the rust and inner brace work that was rotten. The photo shows just the rough fender welds on the patch panel, I later ground them smooth and started to work on fabricating the inner brace work. I also had to tap a few screw holes on the body that the fenders mount to. That fender has been on and off probably 10 times today! I still need to weld up the brace and trim it up a bit so that it fit perfectly...hopefully tomorrow.
