Tips for getting two panels to "flow"
I'm welding a transition piece onto a fender I made for a car. Because the smaller transition piece is smaller I can't run it through the english wheel to give it the same smooth curve I achieved in the larger fender piece. I'm worried that when I weld them it will look bad because of the uneven match up of curves. and because of me welding method. What can I do to make this a seamless and succesfull transition? Here's what I'm dealing with:

It is possible to weld the 2 pieces together and then wheel or run through the plannishing hammer? Given you use a welding method other than mig that's soft enough

my comment is this: now that you have a tested and proven layout of the small piece, then now is the time to start in your real one.

I get the message Kent is trying to say! Make it from One piece.....
You have done a great job of what you have fabricated so far, so why not give it a go.

As far as "getting two panels to "flow" "..... I like the"working in" process, where you tack where you can and then work on the mis-alignments with hammer and dolly, cold or hot. It takes me less time, my tacks hold the parts better than any clamps do, and my fits always seem to end up the best of any other method I've tried. .... at least for me, it happens that way .....
