Now its getting interesting... Took the English wheel over so that we could shape pieces. Speaking of shape. I never realized how hard it is to capture a compound curve in a photo. Started shaping pieces with the hammer and sand bag. Then onto the wheel for shaping. Test fit. Shape. Test fit. Shape. Mark and trim. Shape, final fine tuning and tack it in place. We wheeled the front of the inner fender so that it would increase the amount of curve downward. Worked very well for making the filler piece transition between the upper and lower pieces. Made all 3 pieces and got them tacked in in about 8 hours. Probably way to long time wise but Its done. Once all the pieces are made, fitted and tacked we will take the inner fender out and metal work the weld areas as we weld them.
First piece made.

Third piece made.

The third piece will be cut along the marked lines and blended into the upper edge of the inner fender after we get it on the bench. There just wasn't a practical way to fit it while bolted in as the inner needed to be worked down to meet it. So it is left long for the moment.
Over all shot from inside the inner fender looking forward.
