its been slow going and alot of labor.

old rear fender has been cut out
New rear fender has been fitted and fully welded into place with series of spot welds
All welds are ground down flush
Weld seam is smoothed out w/ several layers of putty and each one sanded down
May need one more glazing and finish sanded, and the rear fender will be back to normal.

Next up: front fender bracing and fender skin. this will be FAR easier and faster than the rear quarter! i can almost Taste the finished GTUs-ness.
