I then placed a piece of Styrofoam on the outside of the fender and stepped on it to remove the outward bow, I think it took 3 adjustments, test fitting each time and the final result is it now fits nicely!

Randy, Thanks for posting this. I am hanging '67 sheet metal on the front end of my 69 and had the same problem with my Key Parts driver side fender. After a few "manipulations", I'm very close. One or two more bends and I should be good to go.
