Re: Project: Montezuma
Here are the only ones I can find, but this was using an original fender cup. I cut the lower cup so the body trim covers up the weld line.
Before: After the cut: During welding/hammer & dolly:

Re: Project: Montezuma
Wow that looks a heck of a lot easier than what the repro cup jobs look like!! That's a relief haha

Re: Project: Montezuma
Yes, the fit was spot on and the angles didn't need any tweaking or slicing. Perfect length as well!!

Re: Project: Montezuma
PS Fender corner rebuild continued...
I think the inside is good enough. Going to finish up the skin, the bottom all the way across needs to be replaced and there is a small rust spot I have to patch also. I think the hard part is done for this piece.

Re: Project: Montezuma
Looks good. Keep pushing forward. I am to the point where I will be pulling my old floor out in the next few weeks. Really studying your thread, thanks again for posting.

Re: Project: Montezuma
I think that if I had to do this over again on a high hump floor, I would get the regular floor and just cut the hump out.... You place the high hump on the floor and trace around it, add about an inch for a flange to bolt it down to and cut it out.
I have seen that done several times and they didn't have to fight the inner rocker issue. No way they are ever going to fix the stamp for the high hump floor. It would probably cost several hundred thousand. Typical to just claim ignorance like Brothers does on their rocker stamps. CORRECTION: I wont do this again, Ill pay more for less rust. hah. But seriously, this was a decision to learn the hard way by choice. Now that ive done that, the next project (if I have one) I will take measures not to have so much rust repair.

Re: Project: Montezuma

For what ever reason the section on the sides of the floor than angles down, is not identical to the factory and causes the inner rocker ledge (where the top of the outer rocker sits) too high. That is the reason I elected just to cut it out and make my own to fit the outer rocker (once they are mocked up). I can only assume the regular floor repro does not have that issue because I have not found anyone that documented having to do this. Usually the only fix in that area is opening up the curves at the front/back where the outer rocker needs more clearance.

What's also interesting is how some people get a great fit with unaltered repro rockers and some have to do what ive done....

Re: Project: Montezuma
And more....
I actually decided to split the cup I'm swapping over for better prep. I didnt realize when I bought the last fender, but the cup actually did have some damage and filler.... Shop is a mess, need a cleanup day tomorrow.

Re: Project: Montezuma
I used a shrinking disc in the process which helped it beat back into position. Not much heat though and pretty controllable.

Re: Project: Montezuma
Yeah I will say its definitely no magic wand. Wray is a pro, he could make anything look easy. He says those disks are really only for 1/16 or less dents. Otherwise he uses a torch to do the quick work. Im pretty new at it so I stay away from the torch....
What change I do see is usually very slow. A lot of repetition.

Re: Project: Montezuma
So the idea here is to build off the other fender (which has a inner cup brace still in tact to reference) then when I get it all buttoned up... Ill cut it off and put it on the fender im using.
