'56 Ford Fender repair....

Had a customer drop off a very solid '53 ford fender to get straightened.  As usual on previous "repaired" body panels, there was copious amounts of bondo...


It looked like someone ran into the front of the fender and then caught the rear lip and bent it in...



The metal was fairly stretched from the previous attempt to straighten with what appeared to be a sledged hammer....



Ahh yes, the fix-all....



Ready for some primer.  The customer wanted to save the "patina", so he'll have to fog in some spots but overall, it is definitely better than when it showed up.
