More nice work, Phil. Although pretty ugly, your fenders were in better shape than mine. I needed to use nearly the entire patch panel and had to locate the running board holes prior to cutting the rusty crap away. I see that you could have used a new tool, a shrinker which would have let you avoid cutting the flange on the bottom to adjust the curvature of the patch panel. I was able to use one of those (actually a stretcher) on part of my project. A shrinker/stretcher set would be a nice addition to your metal working tools.
