Thanks Scott!

More progress on the Biederman fenders.. With Kyle on vacation I was shorthanded in the shop so John (the owner) came by and lent a hand.
First step was to remove the inner fender to see what we had to work with, added some 1/8 holes to use later for clecos in putting things back together..



The front of the fender bolts to the bumper filler panel, and the rear bolts to the running board. These have a difference in height of 13-3/4, so some blocks were screwed together to hold the fender in correct placement while we worked.



The inner is getting replaced so the spot welds were ground out for removal.



Once removed, we found more pitting and damage than we originally thought was there, so now lets make this new as well..





New piece is cut out and the Wheeling machine with the go kart slick is used to add the correct radius..





Then the flange bend line is marked/thinned using a tipping die in the Lennox like we did for the inner panels we made..



Then a tipping die and Skateboard wheel in the bead roller is used to make the initial fold on the marked line



and finished up with a Step die so we could use it as a backstop



The Erco 1447 with stretcher dies was used to stretch the flange in between tipping sessions. All done, matches the fender contour, we'll get the other side folded down next time..
