Bob's Bug - Front Driver's Inner Fender Patch





The next step was to install an inner fender replacement panel. The panel was test-fit in location, marked, then cut to size with an air-shear tool. Next it was finessed back in place and tack-welded in location. The butt welds were then made solid, and the lower flange rosette welded to the heater channel. All welds now need to be ground so the patch is indistinguishable from the original metal.
