1933 Ford Fender Repair I hope this intrigues all of our viewers. We wanted to end the Alfa fender but we have some thing much more vital to do and we have a constrained time to end it. So right here we have 2 1933 Ford Fenders which have been repaired at some position but as you can see, the restore wants to be repaired. There is a patch that was put on the inside of of the fender overlapping the initial pores and skin. On the front side of the fender we can see a lot of holes and micro dents. To resolve this Wray starts off out with a gauge showing the opening of the fender and evaluating it to the fender that needs the most do the job. The gauge doesn’t healthy the next fender as it seems the front has pushed the fender in. Now that we calculated every thing it’s time to make a flexible condition pattern and gauges. Wray points out how he does it, which is a nice transform for me as I just get to movie him carrying out it. At the time the adaptable form sample has been manufactured, Wray compares it to the fender that wants function and it is verified that they do not match. To see what’s likely on with the bead, Wray uses his shrinker / stretcher and a 1” strip of sheet metal and stretches it to match the bead. Again, when we assess it to the other fender we see that the bead dips down. Tomorrow we will lower out the rotted area of the fender and change it with a patch panel to make both equally fenders match.
