Re: Stewart's 1955 Packard 400

I am nearly done with the left side fender. Rebuilt the whole lower portion from scratch. I'm not going to cut out all the pitting that was under the side trim. I am just going to cover it will a thin layer of filler and move on. I have to keep this project moving forward and not get bogged down in the extra stuff.

The right side fender is in worse shape. The lower section is worse there a little rust in the front and some impact damage in the front lower section as well. I'll start with the dent next week and then move to the rust replacement.

On another note. When I disassembled the 400 I took hundreds of pictures to help me rebuild. Well, true to Murphey's law the harddrive they were all stored on died on me.
I sent it out to a company that can restore the data but they want nearly $1600. I can't justify that expense as long as I have you folk's to help me out.
