I noticed a small crack in the front edge of the driver side Fender beginning in the front of my left front fender on my 1930 Model A. The crack is mostly in the bead at the front of the fender in the middle of the “eyebrow“. The crack has resulted in the arch of the fender “peaking” like a “carat” symbol. I want to get this repaired as quickly as possible before the crack spreads further since the fender is basically in excellent condition overall. I would also like to get this repaired without actually removing the fender from the vehicle. If anyone else has had a similar problem, I would appreciate comments and/or suggestions on how to repair this crack. I want a permanent repair, such as welding or brazing and hopefully not using a bunch of “Bondo“. Any comment sour suggestions would be welcome.
