66 dart convertible

I added the top patch piece(one of many to go in this fender) and was glad to discover that my decision to leave the fender mounted to the car was correct. MAN was that fender bent out of shape. I had to tweak the fender on the top and sides to get the patched part match the door and cowl. I still have to finish the inside mounting surface but that dhouldn't change the shape to bad. now it matches to the cowl

got the final shape at the door . It was almost 1/4 inch down too far.

hmm is this supposed to be like that? I didn't grind on the edges at all.
I'll have to check out the other side later

So I'll take off the fender tomorrow and add in the back pieces and tack them up to make sure the shape stays put
