'74 Maverick

The fender I got from the junkyard had a soft spot that needed to be cut out. A patch was welded in, welds ground down, layer of Bondo and primed. This band aid will hold me over until the 'real' body prep begins. I decided to go ahead and remove the chrome strip along the side. The holes from the clips were filled by inserting a nail  from the back side then the head welded to the fender. This trick didn't work out too good because of the metal in the nail didn't want to weld to the fender. From now on I will use sheetmetal patches instead of nail head patches. The front valance and filler panel has a few low spots that need massaged.
