I’m wanting to get everything welded up before I get too serious about pounding and fine tuning these fenders. As you can see from the picture the frame opening is pretty beat out to missing. It appears it rolled in about 2 1/2” from the edge of where it attached to the dog house. Lower left. Anyone have a ‘37-38 that would be willing to draw out a template with measurements that would make sense to fabricate from that corner that is still intact? The passenger side is worse. There is also a light duty angle iron welded across the top. Is that original or a bad attempt at a repair? Help!! lol

I dont have dimensions or a template as my truck is currently torn down, but I found these pictures from a 38 fender I have in storage. I believe they are the same, hope it helps.

Mine are fiberglass, but look just like the photos, I can measure them if you want.

I'd rather walk and carry a Chevy hub cap than ride in a Ferd.

Mike, maybe a measurement of the depth of the opening from the plane of the bottom of the fender would be body helpful. Alvin, I’d appreciate a closeup of the clearance where the frame horn comes out through here. Thanks guys and help out with my next issue posted.
