Here is the new patch welded into place. I could have taken out the last bit of Bondo, but it is solid and I left it be.

The last step is to remove the small dents, lots of sanding and preparing for a layer of epoxy primer. I bought some sanding blocks to try, I still have to finish sand the fender. The rust will be treated with rust converter before spraying on the primer. I'm sanding down to the original flame red paint as it is still in good shape.

Already prepped the other fender as well.

Still have to do the mudflaps and seals. Decided to make new staples by bending them from stainless steel tig wire and drilling small holes in the new panels. The L-shaped panels were completely rotted out so I bought new reproductions.

The plan with the paint is to shoot 1 or 2 layers of epoxy primer, then the bodywork, followed by another coat of primer. Then 2 coats of epoxy 503 light green.

As you may have read previously I kept debating between the original flame red and light green, but settled on the light green.

I already started on the hood rust repair. This will be covered in the next posts.
