58-59 headlight metal photo

I was out looking at the truck fenders and each as a different radius or sharpness to the top eyebrow edge of the fender above the headlight. Both fenders had rust in that area and I shaped them independently. I looked and could not find a good close up so I can tell which I need to change.

Could someone with a light colored truck take a good close up 3/4 angle photo of that area and post it? My passenger side has flat eyebrow with a tight radius at the top, drivers larger radius. Thanks in advance.

I hope this helps OrrieG.
I have the drivers side cut out in my shop so I can take more detailed pictures if you'd like. It's an original fender so far as I can tell.

Re: 58-59 headlight metal photo

Thanks, a closer shot would help, I am trying to see how tight the top radius should be. No hurry, temps here are heading into the 30's so will not be doing much body work.

Re: 58-59 headlight metal photo

Thanks, I think the passenger one I did is not "soft" enough, time to get out the body file, which would make sense because it was the one I had to do the most work on.
