I needed to make a form to allow me to transfer the shape of the radius of the inner left front fender to the inner right. I made a card board template of the left side...
...test fit it to the right side...
...then transfered the paper pattern to a piece of 3/4" plywoo.d that will become the form
While cleaning up the areas I'll be working on, I noticed some bondo repairs to the area around the fresh air intake.
So I straightened it up....
...aligned it...
...and welded in place.
Now I can get back to forming the lip. I clamp my form in place...
...and begin bending each tba over the form.
Once all of the tabs have been bent I weld them in place.
..and clen up the welds.
I go back inside and finish weld the rest of the repair.
The lip has a small cut out in it. I'm not sure what purpose it serves, but it must do something, so I make another pattern to transfer its shape & location to the right side.
Pattern in place...
..right side ready for primer!
At this point I primer coated the repairs and after the primer dried test fit the front apron to the repair.
It fit beautifully!!
Another headache solved!!
