Nice work 2 is a charm. I'm sorta in same boat. I pulled my front fenders off and then bought new ones for the 48 Ford F1 truck. Going to do the same with the rears in a month or so. Old ones were too beaat up for me to mess with with my minimum welding skills and the thick bondo a past owner had put on them. The goal is get the whole thing recoated with epoxy primer then try my hand at painting one panel at a time.
