Now there's a fender with some character....

This fender was orange when I got it, I started stripping it getting ready to put in primer so that I can put it on the truck...appears it started life on a sky blue truck, then at some point painted over in green, and then finally found its way to orange.

Makes me wonder....was this thing a replacement on 3 different trucks (about to be 4)....or perhaps it was on a truck that went through a few color changes over the years.

Makes you realize what all these old cars/trucks go through over ~40-years, though. So far it's really straight and I've found no filler on it (that's a miracle).

Looks like the second color was the best......but I'm partial.

Kind of looks like a University of Miama fanatic was shot in the street... Need a chalk outline around that thing...
