Re: fender patch pix

my best would be to tack/fit the patch with the fender on the truck, I have one that someone welded about 1/4 inch too high...pretty much wasted the fender and patch..

Re: fender patch pix

thanks Jon, that sounds like a good method. i'm no autobody guy, but how do you weld it up 1/4" too high?lol that is a pretty big step between panels. guess you could try to cut it and re-weld it up but that could be more headache than its worth.
