The twins that lived next door to us in Houston (our pretend grandkids) were here all week, so progress was hit and miss. Ryan and I worked on assembling a square body model truck kit. Between paint and glue drying, I patched the passenger side fender. I was impressed with the quality of the reproduction parts. They're a nice heavy gauge material AND they actually fit like they should. Pleasant surprise.

The fender had been lightly hit up front and after media blasting I used the hammer and dolly to clean it up a little better. Also used the shrinking tool to bring the flange where the front molding bolts on back to flat. It was good to be able to restore the original sheetmetal which I already know fits very well as opposed to spending more on a reproduction piece that may or may not fit.
