That's not my idea of fun. Trying to make flat sheet metal into a fender. That's my idea of a headache. My idea of fun would be to find a donor with a dent or two, get it cheap and cut off the piece I need and weld it on. 47-55.1. Then it's perfect.
If you have all the equipment these guys have, go for it. A hammer and a vise won't do it for a beginner. If you have a whole lot of repair, a whole lot of expensive sheet metal, all the tools, go to a workshop and then practice, maybe. A donor piece will get done real quick and move on. Just doing that is hard enough.
Thank you for your service, Star.
My hat is off to those guys who turn out nice pieces. It's an art form for sure.
