Gotta stay motivated, sammons.
Finally the rear fenders are done.
I welded a bunch of pinholes, ground and hammered and dollied.
I took the fenders off the car and ground things more, as good as I could, hammered more, then
 painted red primer as a guide coat and block sanded the fenders, hammering from the
inside and the outside, sanded more.
Ooff, it looks so much easier when they do it on youtube.
When I felt I had done what I could, I slip rolled  1/8" by 3/4" flatbar to hold the inside fender
edges tight to the wheel opening, drilled holes for the screws and mounted it all back
to the body.



There's still some red on the fenders, and of course I didn't get it all smooth, but an
undisclosed amount of filler will help, I'm sure.
Now I'm ready to get on with the front fenders.

I took a pic of some left over pieces of old and new fender edges.
The original has a wire, around which the fender lip is rolled. My new ones are just a
1/4" round bar welded to the fender lip. The result looks almost factory.

Sounds like progress!
