Well, I began installing the new fender. I worked several hours trimming and fitting before I was ready to position the part. Here's a shot of it in place before welding....

I still have more welding, then a LOT of grinding, but I feel pretty good that it's position correctly...

Yea, I guess it was a lot easier to just 'forget' the screwdriver, then try to remove the tank....

BTW, after cleaning the screwdriver, it turns out to be a Snap-On. I wonder if they would replace it? (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif)

Rob,
Better check your tank. It looks like part of it was left behind on that shelf that it sits on. Mine was the same was. Rusted out right were that felt pad is. I got a pretty good tank you can have if you need it.

Paul if you had any metal on your car you could trade Rob some spiffy welding for some fancy carb tuning.

Ground down the welds, added several thin layers of bondo and a single layer of spot putty. This should hold it until I get to prime, then paint it. I'll prime it with etch primer soon. BTW, the bondo took most of the day. Bondo, sand, repeat as needed....
