Re: 1967 Custom Sport Shop Truck

I was doing this for a couple hours each day after work before dark to try to get Ken his truck back. I was definitely grateful for having the whole truck/bed in tact. I don't know if I would have been able to get the bedside straightened correctly if it was off the truck.

Getting a little closer each day...

I'm glad I remembered I had my little shape keeper thing. I used the DS and the good area of the PS to check against, but was able to get the fender flare lined back up correctly. I'm glad I did. When I did my first couple of tacks I was about 1/8" off in some spaces. Not quite sure how my cuts got so "fat", but maybe that was part of the fender getting crushed, I don't know, but it's back to the way it should be now.

The first few pics are when it was "wrong." It just didn't look right to me. Again, glad I remembered the shape tool.
