A bit more work done on the front fender, cut out the rust to make room for trimming the patch....









Folded the inner flange, which required quite a bit of stretching to maintain the curve.....







....and we'll get this tacked in another night....

 

Yeah howard's pictures collection is awesome . Thats Walt Pray's 55 in flames and He also painted the black 55 nomad seaweed flames . One of the best IMHO

Sorry, no pics of my 56 Sedan Delivery, but, if you go to RacingJunk.Com, and do a search for item number 1878758, that's my "new" 57 Sedan Delivery. I wanted a running/driving car to keep me grounded while I'm reassembling my 56. Then there's the 51 Business Coupe, and the 90 Mustang LX 5.0 liter, and my truck, and my mini bike, and my 48 Gibson Garden Tractor, and my yard, and my mothers yard, and..............................................I ain't never gettin' outa this hole! Butch/56sedandelivery.

 

Mine, still waiting.............

 

Got some welding done this morning. With all the metal being forced into the "valley" when forming the patch, the outer flange had a tendency to bulge outwards. Used the shrinking tip on the dent puller to help take care of that, as well as better form the radius.





...comparing to opposite fender.....



Inner grille opening......









Welding outside seam







Welds dressed.....







That gets it real close, and fresh metal to last a few more years. Now only 3 more spots to go on this fender.....

 

SaltCoupe. I like your car.

 

Here are two of mine...

 

Here was mine that I just sold.....

Finishing up the Driver's fender....











And my nephew Chris came over today and started to re-assemble the front end for test fitment as I finished up the welds on the drivers fender.









Not too shabby. We do have some planishing to do on the patches of the drivers fender to fix some gap inconsistencies......

 

Sold my 57 Sedan and bought me a 56!!! Installed a New Rear bumper tonight, new exhaust tomorrow AM at Rays Muffler in Middletown, Ohio! Plan on having this done in the next month!
