Re: '55 International Metal/Body/Paint Work
Forgot to mention that I did all of the repair work on the fenders with the front clip assembled to hold everything in shape. Fixing the fenders on a bench or stand would let them flex abnormally, and the repaired areas would have the wrong shapes/contours when bolted up.
Front bottom edge was crumpled.
Gap between the fender and grill straightened out.
Metalshaping finished.
Inside bottom edge was chewed up pretty good. I opened it up to straighten the kinks out, then re-rolled it.
