That's exactly how it would be done without big equipment.
I had the entire inner fender reshaped, all welded in and then came up with the idea. I didn't want to start over ( neither did my wallet ), luck would have it Tim worked with a guy that had a real big Pullmax with a real deep head, I'm talking clearance in feet not inches.

The core support close out panel, Tim and I did that with a bead roller. It was a 2 person job. It's hard holding the part and feeding it when trying to do real sharp radii.
