1966 Barracuda Driver's Side Front Fender Repair

(Work actually done 7/12/2018) The fender on the Barracuda needs a little help. It has a boo-boo.

I got two spare fenders from my brother, one for a Barracuda and one for a Valiant. The spare Barracuda fender was pretty far gone and the Valiant fender had trim holes that needed filling, and it also had a small dent in it. I decided to go about fixing up the Valiant fender....





After all that work, I decided to try and save the original fender from the car. After a long bit of hammering and shaping, I got it fairly straight and ready for some filler.




I noticed the inner lip of the fender (under-hood area) had some rust-through, so I cut out a long chunk and replaced it with a piece from the "worse" spare fender.





The yellow paint isn't that good of a match, but it is better than primer...
