46 1/2 Ton,
Those were great links on the metal work. Wheelwright sure does nice work and almost makes it look easy.
Well, I am not sure whether to call the problem "rust" or "rot". There are parts of the fenders that are really solid and would make a good base to weld metal onto, and there are other areas that are missing. Pretty much the whole edge of both front fenders will need to have replacement metal fabricated for them. Problem is I have never formed metal before and I don't have alot of the equipment to do it. I do enjoy a lost cause once in a while......
Metal work has always fascinated me and I have always learned alot from biting off more than I should. The money I would save from not buying replacement fenders would offset some of the costs of failed experiments and new toys(equipment). Also at the end of the day, it would be a whole lot more satisfying to have fixed them myself, rather than just pay for replacements. I have almost convinced myself to go ahead and try to fix them myself.
