Default 41 Ford front lower half fender inner center reinforced

Please see this pic I want to remove it but see no signs of it being welded in place. Again this is the lower half fender inner support that is dead center with the wheel.

Not exactly sure what you are asking but I'll see if I can post a picture of my wheel area later.

I will also attach a pic having a bit of trouble. But on the lower half of the front fenders there is a added piece of steel fitted in to strenghten the narrowest part of the fender directly above the wheel. Need to get it out to repair some rot. trength

On my 41 there is a panel bolted behind the wheel, like a water deflector or rock shield. there is nothing above the wheel. Can;t really tell from your pic. what you have. Al

You must have an early '41 with the 3 piece fenders, mine are the later 2 piece style. Won't be able to look at my fender until tomorrow.

'41 i used to have had those reinforcements, seemed to be factory. i think they were needed because that spot was so narrow.
