anyone know of a source for inner fenders for a 3 window? or do you have to make due with something different?

Thanks...

I'm not sure exactly what you're looking for? More info please.

I do not think 1932 Ford Deluxe coupes have inner fenders.

Check with Brookville. They may have panels for patching available even if they aren't listed on the website.

I looked at Brookville also and didn't see them listed. They may very well be the only game in town though.

Check over on the HAMB - could be a couple sources others there may know about.

Try Dennis Carpenter 1-800-476-9653. I have been told he has alot of the original Ford stamps and dies, and his products are licensed by Ford. He is in Concord N.C. so if you are in S.C. he is not far from you. I have bought some things from him, but not body parts.

trvguy · 10-07-2010, 05:03 PM

mac's has some sheet metal inner "fenders".

Krylon32 · 10-07-2010, 06:45 PM

I used the standard 5window/roadster wheel well repair panels and made them work. Behind the wheels and under the fenders nobody knows.

tinmann · 10-08-2010, 09:31 PM

Here's a build sequence I posted on another web site when I built one for my 3w......
Out to the shop this morning to attack the passenger side wheel well.

This will be the third time I've patched this side. I think I finally have the door fit and fender fit correct that the quarter panel must be in the right spot.

Old patch laid on sandbag to make a pattern for a new piece.

Butcher paper held on with mini magnets

A dirty finger traces the outside shape.

Pattern cut out and stuck to old patch again.

Trace area of higest crown and the tip line that becomes the flat mounting flange.

Trace onto 18 ga.

Rough cut with foot shear.

Final cut with electric shear.

ATF for lube.

Planishing hammer to raise crown.

Tipping die in bead roller and English wheel to smooth out planishing marks.

Final planishing with T-Dolly and hammer

Punched holes for plug welds

tinmann · 10-08-2010, 09:42 PM

Sneaking up on final fit. Ran out of time for today.......

You'll notice a serious change in the color of the panel. Halfway through the forming it seemed that the metal stopped behaving itself (got hard). So I annealed it with a torch and away I went again.
Here we go again.... now for the rear portion of the wheel well.

A little planishing....

Straightened it a bit with 12 tons....

A bit more shape....

T-Dolly for shape....

A little wheeling.....

A little tipping.......

Flattening the mounting flange.....

Trial fit and mark for trimming.....

Remove both trim and tack together......

tinmann · 10-08-2010, 09:44 PM

When I know that parts will need additional shaping after welding, I like to use oxy-acet because the weld is so soft.....

A little clean up and.........

Viola.... patch panel......

I can't believe how many hours I have into one "simple" patch panel but here we go again.......
Clecoed and clamped into place.....

Only to realize there just isn't enough crown yet..... break out the BFH.....

And when that didn't work..... cut slits.....

Mig tacks......

tinmann · 10-08-2010, 09:44 PM

Followed by gas welding and lots of smacking.....

Another trial fit..... more frustration.....

Screw it...... weld it in.......

Last little section fabbed and installed......

Little bit of clean up......

And when the day's work has been frustrating, there's only one tool that can help.....

Now I've got to find someone willing to crawl into the trunk with a hammer and dolly so I can finish this install........ thanks for looking.
