    Bolt fenders together with aid of a stand
    lay tape down symmetrically to make profile patterns to.
    make profile patterns
    compare to each side.

    I love seeing your posts. You, sir, are a true craftsman.
     
  11. As always, I'm just flabbergasted at your skills. Time to put my big boy pants on and give it a try on my own roached out fenders. Thank you for the excellent examples and encouragement.

    In this pic you are just checking the radius/shape and then cutting the new patch out to insert INTO the hole without any type of overlap correct?

    --sorry cant quite get the multiquote thing right
