So, back in the shop work continued on the rear fender. it was cut down a bit where it had a bit of a bulge, shrunk and welded together again, the welds were ground and the fender rolled on the English Wheel. After some hammer and dolly work it looks okay, except for the last two inches in the back, which will be adjusted later to get a similar shape as the other fender. (September 2025)

The attention was turned to the right hand fender. It had to be widened a bit, and the shape of it adjsuted a lot, but in the end the work went nicely,everything was welded, ground and done. New fender edge pieces, inside and out, even the tail lip done. Looked pretty good right then. (October 2025)

Back at it again, planning to work on the left hand side inside fender edge, when I realized that I have to start over. The fenders don't look the same, and the the left fender looks better.

When the front of the fender is moved, the whole thing shifts. In other words, the running b oards have to be mounted and the aprons ready to fit the fenders. The running boards were ajusted so they were parallel, then runningboard to rear fender mounts were made from angle iron, Things were adjusted till everything fit, a bunch of holes were drilled and the right hand fender and running board were bolted down.

Funny how the fenders makes the car look bigger.

´

The driver's side running board was mounted to the body and to the rear fender and after that work on the fenders could be continued. When the left hand side fender was adjusted, cut, tacked, and adjusted some more, it was obvious that the right hand side fender was too short. It was cut and extended 15/32", a bit more than 11 millimeters and tacked back together.

Now the fenders look fairly similar.
