Well MP&C's links and 'tutorials' were what gave me the courage to take a bigger bite. Well worth a few hours or days of reading in my book.
I get the preference for using a preformed piece, I used the bottom half of new cab corners on my on my project and then found the top half worked great for the lower cowl patch.
If you could find some later model dualy fenders at the Upick they might be easier to cut your patches out of... just a thought.
They'd be cheap practice metal and already have some contours/ lower flange bend to mess with... maybe.
