    I haven't spent this much time really looking at the fender . I did the sand to bring out the high spots Pat . This fender does look like it went inverted for a bit and was hammered out . After the sand it looks a little better . Talking with you guys i can picture in my mind what the outcome could be with this method for metal work . I will have to get a slapper file to start that process and go from there . I do the know initial work will be slow since i dont have you the masters standing there . I am glad though i can come here and get some guidence in what im going to try .

    Hey and if it dont work then i guess the filler will have to be . I do know it is a necessary part of auto repair just thought i'd give this a try with this oppurtunity and metal thickness.

    A couple better pics showing fender.

    You know that original ole paint is still reflecting on the quarter pretty darn good .
