Default Re: Front fender cracking out

Thank you, langus for that post. My Model A experience matches Rotorwrench's post #9. I have a cracked fender that I have waited too long to address. It is in the outside corner of the front fender where it meets the running board. It was originally done poorly and does not have a proper fit to the running board.

When we first got the car, the tires were old, the front end was loosey goosey and going down the road the lights and front fenders were shake rattle an roll for sure. Things are different after 3 years of learning and amateur repairs. A few thousand dollars and sweat equity.

I have seen Brent's tutorials before. I will tig the cracks and weld in a small patch and grind. If I get any sort of reasonable result I will attempt to split the rear flange from the fender and mate it to the running board then patch the gap.
