Interest in new restoration project thread?

Nice work, Mike.

I can relate to this type of effort. We often have to remove thin sections of fenders not originally from the subject project car to ensure proper fit and once in a while even if the fender was original equipment to the car.

At times seriously original car bodies with original paint intact will show evidence of in-plant sheet metal 'adjustments'. Serious hammers were standard equipment in assembly plants until numerical control equipment minimized sheet metal variations that were previously inevitable in stamping operations.
