March 2018
Continued disassembling grille. Straightened and removed paint on purchased used RF fender. I discovered a lead repair on that fender at the saddle just inboard of the headlight. I removed the lead and straightened the area using hammer and dolly. Wondered why they'd bother to use lead, as it wasn't a bad defect. I bought two engine stands and modified them to build a cab rotisserie. Had to buy another welder to modify the engine stands. wink Straightened RR and LF fenders.

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