Mo Better now!
 

Thanks guys ... I was working with the shrinking disc and some hammer and dolly work to get this fender straight. Seems it had some previous work done ... with a 2X4 :shakehead:

Instead of spraying epoxy and sanding it all off, I figured I'd take a page from an Eastwood video and use the Sharpie as a guide coat which worked out really well. After three rounds of disc work and sanding it is mo better, the camera angle doesn't do it justice ... take a look!

Wow, think I'll stick a fork in it ... I would guess I have WAYTOO many hours into these fenders but I know they are dun right:D

I am getting the hang of the shrinking disc and it's kinda of like therapy ... and it works great, don't start hammering get the disc out and work the metal back to shape!!!!

The only low spots are where the metal is doubled so I'm ok with that, take a look ....

I know it just looks like a fender finished in SPI white epoxy but there are many hours to get to this point and I am proud of the results, thanks for looking ...

You should be proud, doing it all yourself.

Looking real good!

nothing feels better than running your hand over a p400 finished panel for the last time, other than maybe the finished product.

OCD is a beeotch!!!! She does look good in SPI White Epoxy maybe I'll just clear coat and call it patina, lol :lol: One more round of epoxy and primer surfacer on the driver's fender and extension and I'll stick a fork in it! Working on passenger side fender, underside of the hood and body worked the inner fender wells and radiator support.

I ran out of black ss paint to do the underside of the hood ... on the things to do list: paint the underside of the hood black, get the driver's door in epoxy and then the passenger door all before the weather turns and it get too cold :action-smiley-027::action-smiley-027:
