Working on a patch panel for the tail of my Right Rear fender. Pretty big rustout, so I cut a 6x13 inch piece of sheet metal and went to town with a mallet and sandbag. It's getting there, but still a ways to go. I may have to put a v-notch in it and weld that back together to get it to curl around the rear of the fender. It's my first attempt at forming a compound curve and I may have gotten too much curl in the short dimension.

Also did a few other patches to that fender to fix the rust that grew behind the crown brace. Also in flikr - hit < after viewing the photos linked above.

If you're smart enough to take it apart, you darn well better be smart enough to put it back together.
