Tudor Wheel Well Repair
Did this one over the summer ..
Back story ... this car has been in its family since new . Grandparents owned it then customers father now him . He learned to drive on it etc . But for some reason it now has a new home Another shop put the wheel wells in .... suddenly the fenders didnt fit in the back . so my job was to correct the mess . of course they were welded fully and not the usual 1 weld every 6 inch routine . alot of hours carefully grinding weld out and a subframe mess he didnt want addressed . weld everywhere doubled panels new ones in in primer . very very very little mud was needed . new studs . a little black lacquer hard to see ready to go home next to my 47 click for video ... needs an exhaust donut

Nice work;
This job would have been a lot easier if you had gotten the car before the other shop had worked on it. Chris W. |

Re: Tudor Wheel Well Repair
Thank you for sharing. It serves as a graphic reminder why buying a car sight unseen based on shiny paint alone can horribly backfire. The little subframe mess means to me taking the body off the frame and starting with the basics. Very frustrating for a new Model A owner. It's nice to have a solid and cancer free foundation when entering the hobby.
