Default Passenger top fender

Fun stuff here. Passenger fender is an AMD. They do not fit as great as everyone says they do. I had to build up along the top near the door. The body line along the top to the body line at the middle, is literally too short. Rather than cut and weld the whole rear section of the fender, I decided to try out Eastwood's body solder. At least it gives me the ability to use metal to build up the area as opposed to plastic filler, or doing all the work of cutting and welding it all.

Here you can see how bad the gap is.





First step is to "tin" the fender, using their tinning butter





After it's tinned, then wash it with baking soda, to neutralize the acid. Then apply the solder.



Once that's finished, shape to desired form
