The beginning of the lower mounting apparatus for the front fender. The 9 inch strip is on the bottom and one of the 7 inch strips is on the top. The 7 inch strip is heated and pounded flat to the beam. This will allow all four mounting holes to be flush with the fender. The two strips are then welded together. |

This piece of 3/8 rod was formed and welded to the step plate. With the front fender temporarily bolted on the top bracket, the bottom edge of the fender is aligned. A piece of wire is bent to form the template for the 3/8 rod. The 3/8 rod is then heated and formed to fit from the step plate to the lower fender mounting bracket (the 7 and 9 inch strips that were welded in the previous picture. |
