Thanks for the tips, Killer and Chuck.
Despite the rip and dent, the fender is in OK shape...ok..it's a mess...but I'm going to give it a try. I think I can save it..I am an optimist....The Art Deco fenders are getting tough to find....the right rear are the worst...the vision on the right side is bad...everyone must have cut the corners and remodeled the fenders!!!
