Well look here... Kaelyn came out to help. What a surprise, just wanted to spend time with the old man and work on an old Mopar.... Great kid!

Huge dent here but I shrunk the metal and beat it back close. Use a 1/2" strap as a straight edge to ensure there were no high spots.

DA sanded the rest of the car and wiped it down.... Next weekend it is time to hit it with the real epoxy primer base coating then from there it is time for filler and blocking! We are getting close. Still have the trunk to do but that can wait. I want to see a straight body first!

This fender fits like crap.... To get a gap to the door I had to elongate the hole in the bottom but now there is so much twisting it rolls out behind the wheel.. I am not sure what to do.
