Bender Fender

After the low side, I had tons of body work damage, most of which I threw away but decided to fix some.

The damage to the front fender is odd to me because its just strange how it broke outwards. The only thing I can think of is that the tire picked up a rock, which punched out the top of the fender, then was thrown out the back side.

I figured the repair wouldn't be too difficult, and with additional help from my old man, was able to knock it out in a day.

First I opened up the crack with a razor blade to help it seat right then gave it some super glue to hold it in place.

Next I roughed up the back side with sand paper and cleaned with acetone to help the adhesive stick.

The adhesive of choice is JB Weld (another mechanic favorite) and I was going to use fiberglass but using a fine metal screen was suggested instead. So I traced a piece to fit the perimeter of the gash
