Very good work, you got any picture before you started the work…….I’m no body expert but this is my favorite part of restoration…..
If I ever get the vert out of storage I’ll post some more pic of her which is all primer right now….I shaved the door handles, gas cap, antenna. Had to use my expensive $200 paint gun for primer, the el cheep oh gun I bought for primer was too cheep, runs every……..luckily they sand out……..

What I did was weld a piece of thin sheetmetal in the shape of the hole on the inside and outside of of the fender and then smooth out the top with a little filler. You can't even tell I had a tennie on my fender..LATER!!
