69 Special Deluxe Inner Fender Restoration

Hey guys. Just finished up a bit of a winter project after getting my 69 special deluxe painted and decided to finally fix my inner fenders during the dead season. My inner fenders like so many 68/69 skylark/gs's were rotted at the front behind the headlights. I took 3D scans of the area originally and used CAD to design 3D stamping dies so I could stamp out steel patch panels and weld them in for a proper fit. I did a little extra on the top side and filler primer/bodyfilled some imperfections I wasn't happy with but I'd say it turned out quite nice so just wanted to share!




The process step by step for the passenger side









And the driver side repair

 

Your inner fender repairs look Fantastic. Great job, especially making your own tooling.

 

Flat out AWESOME!!!

 

Great work!!!! post a link to your You Tube video. I watched it yesterday, very impressive.

 

Thanks so much y'all! Here are those videos bluebuick was talking about if y'all are interested

 

That looks great!!

 

Repair? I see no repair, it's that good. Well done!

 

Come to my house, I got a little project for you, about 18 feet long and a little rusty. Not more than a year’s worth of work….

 

Quite an enticing offer haha but unfortunately I already have a second 18ft long little rusty project after this one with my dad!
