Here is a front drivers side fender that I got with my 68 front clip. It had a nice tear from the bumper corner. Craig the father of "valdez project build" is a master at metal work. He is giving me a starter lesson and how he would tackle the repair. Craig made the first square repair and did some pounding of the metal to get me started, I finished the rest of the repair and have the finder in filler primer now.

Craig was also kind enough to show his method of using a large sharpie marker over the ground down metal areas and using a file to find the highs and lows. Then proceeded to instruct on how to hammer and use the dolly on and off methods.

He is one of my seasoned friends that is an excellent source when i get stuck on something or just need another opinion.
