It turns out working on these front fenders involves plenty of hours per square foot of sheet metal.
The innner fender lip seems to be coming okay. We'll see how it turns out, the right hand side fender
will have to look similar to the left one, there might be some adjustments to do when that time comes.

I had cut the back end of the new fender lip some 3/8" too short, I made a new pece and cut out
what I needed, then welded and ground.

The fender back on the car, I started working on the fender to apron transition. It took me some
time to get some kind of workable idea to make this transition, it has to be fairly neat and easy
to make and also it has to be possible to take the fenders off the car.
Baby steps, this is a start, but at least I have a plan.

This sheetmetal part that kind of frames the exhaust primaries as they go down through the fender
will be part of the fender itself. The wheel can be seen from above here, it's turned left as much as
it goes, and a hump has to be made in the fender to make room for wheel to turn freely.
