I finished the basic work on the driver fender today.
Sanded the backside and cleaned with a degreaser.
Spot welded the brace at the front which had broken free when the fender got banged up.
Spot welded the patch to the brace.
The spot welder I use is sold by HTP. This welder is able to weld through primer and is automatic. Set it for the panel thickness and pull the trigger. The machine does the rest and stops when the weld is complete.
I painted the backside with an epoxy paint.
This puts me one fender away from being able to test fit the front end. Next the passenger fender.
