Bracing up the fender brace on the Vicky.

Because the chassis has independent suspension on the front. The original fender brace no longer fits on the side. So I had to design some plate to brace it so it now has strength.

Then I took the passenger fender and did some metal finishing. It had a few extra holes and a few dents.

bracing up the fender brace on the Vicky.

Because the frame has independent suspension on the front. The cross-member is right where the original fender brace would go. So I had to trim the fender brace and I'll be making some supports to make the fender brace strong again.

I'm starting on the repairs on the fenders for the Vicky. First thing I'm doing is bolting everything together. Then I can check how everything is fitting and see what issues need to be fixed.

I noticed some bondo in the drivers fender hiding some dents. So I removed the bondo and smoothed the dents out.

Fixing the issues on the drivers rear fender for the Vicky.

I started fixing the dents on the drivers rear fender. First I had to grind out all the bondo that was in the rear tail of the fender. Then with that out that exposed all the damage to be worked out. I like to use machinist die to highlight the low and high spots for me. That way they are easy to see. Then I can start leveling out the panel and working out the dents.

Luckily the passenger fender is perfect in the tail section, so I'm able to use it for a reference of what the correct shape should be on the drivers fender. I started working out eh major dents already. Then I'll have to see how much is truly salvageable and what I'll need to create from scratch.

Repairing the bottom of the drivers side body.

Getting back on the 34' Vicky.

I've been working back on the 34' Vicky. The drivers door had rust out on the bottom inner and outer skin. So the first order of business was to roll out a new patch for the bottom of the outer skin using the original door as a pattern. Then once that was made I removed the bottom of the inner door skin to gain me access to repair the outer skin. Then the outer skin was removed and the new skin tacked in place, and final welded. Now I have to repair the inner skin, and get that back in place.
