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.
