Tonight I finished up the front left inner fender. I tacked the new patch piece in the other night since I tore out the old one to rebuild it as it was kind of ugly. Tonight I mocked it in place on the cab and rad support and it seemed to fit well. I then welded it out, ground it out, rechecked fit, clamped in brace support, rechecked fit, and then plug welded the brace in place. It's nice when you can check a large item off the list!
Front left inner...Done!

I then trimmed and test fitted the patch panel I beat into submission for the front right. It is substantially larger and was harder to build because of the curves in it. I really need to get a small English wheel for stuff like this. However it seems to fit well. Next day I get in the shop I will tack it and check its fit before welding it out and planishing it. Slowly getting Some sheet metal work done here, Bolters.

Cab: 77.5
Frame/fenders: 31.5
Total: 109
