fiddled around today trying to learn some rust repair i also started stripping the paint off the fender. i can tell that process is going to be good for my mental wanderings
the offending hole
i am new to this stuff, but tape seemed like a good way to get strait lines for cutting
traced the old part onto the non rusted fender and chopped out what i needed
going in.
after some sanding
closer shot
as much paint removal as i got done before i had to stop and burn a slab of beef for dinner
the patch isn't as good as i had in my head before i started but i am going to make a dolly tool tomorrow that will hopefully get the low spots out. it will still need a little skimmer of bondo. i suppose it could be worse for the first time I've ever done it
