Re: 1947 Biederman Truck Fender repairs

Thanks Larry!


Some more progress on the Biederman fenders, here's where we left off last time...











On the passenger fender, we removed the cleco's holding the filler panel and John (the owner) media blasted the flanges where the panels overlapped..

















Cleco holes were enlarged on the filler panel flange to accommodate plug welds and the two parts welded together...

















After grinding the welds, John brushed some SPI epoxy in the lapped panels to seal them up..





























Back on the driver's fender, time to trim off the rusted and bent front edge....























The door skin removal tool is used to unwrap the wired edge...

















Once the wrap is broken free, the top is scored with a cutoff wheel and then peeled around. No cuts on the wire as this may weaken it..

















Trimmed and clamped in place for a test fit..
