Started taking the bed apart.

I had the wife and kids out and we were dissassembling the stepside. I think i need new fenders. The bed itself is super solid but the fenders have rust in the front corners. These saveable?

Looks fixable to me. I have a friend who took parts of "several" Model A's....all of which were equally ventilated....and made a complete body. He can literally make a silk purse from a sow's ear.

I have no doubt they are fixable. THey are about 85% solid. I just am not that knowledgable with welding nor do i have any of the equipment to bend metal and weld....
