Repo Front fenders, 65 c10 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Both of fenders are repos on my truck. I had the same problem with gaps on the front. When I had it painted for the second time the painter used seam sealer in all the gaps to give it a more finished look.

So, I painted my fender, to put a base coat on and to get some practice painting.

I REALLY should've test file it first. Everything looked damn close, and it was, except for one area. The area that bolts up to the air vent / cowl area. The angle on the bend in the area pointed to in the first picture needed to be a bit more acute. Because it of this, the top fender bolt holes BARELY reached and that was after some manipulation.

I also seam sealed the gap like t62 Barnfind had done.
