Thumbs up 40 Pieces

It interesting that the fender is made in so many pieces. But my thoughts are that the body and fenders would have been hand hammered. Then welded together. As I know it, there are three schools of metal work. Southern Europe and Italy it was all hand hammered. (I found this out the first time I stripped the paint off a Ferrari and found all the hammer marks and asked why, the joy's of youth.) Northern Europe it was Helve hammers and England was the English Wheel. Originating from making Armour.
