How Does this come apart?

[jonzcustomshop]

use some sandpaper on the inside edge to find the spots.
the ones on the fender crimp I do not try to drill, I just do 2 little v cuts, and then grind off the leftover piece.

sometimes the spots on the bottom of the brace are weak from rust and break off .

also the dust guard -the piece with the rubber stapled to it is held on with those parallel looking clips, you can stick a screwdriver in them and spread them to get them off.. however the clips usually break.

leave the brace there, you will need it in place to line the patch up.

repair/patch and treat the inside of the brace before you weld the patch back on.

hang the fender on the truck, and make sure the patch lines up with the rocker, ( you need the door hung to get it all lined up) ...or use the rh fender (placed door edge to door edge) to line up the patch....

take a look at my fender patch on my sub build thread http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...=448681&page=8 , post # 184 page 8, that is probably the way you need to do yours.

all you really need for tools is a drill, an angle grinder with a cut off wheel, and a welder.
