Rear inner fender lip

[hotrod1]

What did u do with your inner fender lip? Here are pics of mine. Looks rough to me but I don't know what they are supposed to look like. Any ideas to make them look presentable? By the way, in certain places in the fender I find these little holes in the sheet metal? What are they? Was it an old school way of doing metal work getting rid of dents? They do not go all the way through.

Personally as long as the inner rolled edge isn't cracked I wouldn't spend a whole lot of time on it. You may see that edge a few more times in the build and never again after that.

If your dead set on it take a piece of round stock that slips into it and use it as a dolly. tap it don't hammer it other wise you'll bow the fender lip. The pit in pic two are from either a pick hammer or a Bullseye pick, it s to raise or lower a point in the panel, from the picture they were trying to lower a buckled section. The last looks like regular rust pitting.

Picking hammer used to release tension in the metal so it can be raised or shrank.

I'd have to follow along with what DWCSR said above. Unless you are serious about hitting the indoor show circuit they don't have to be perfect as they don't really show.

I really agree with the crack thing as you don't want any cracks or semblance of a crack in that area. I've got a rear fender hanging in the shed that is close to perfect except it has a crack that I wasn't able to fix right when I had it on the truck.
