    Time for major surgery... Good thing I have extra metal!!

    Last night I found the horrendous repair done by on of the previous owners- The edge of the quarter is in almost 1/2" too far. It must be rebuilt

    I took the edge piece I needed from the spare 54 fender I had. The curve was a bit to tight, so I cut slits in the flange, then bent it to the right contour, and re-welded it....
