Just something I noticed, Left fender verse right fender bottom. There is a bump in the flow of fender bottom on the left side.Here are a couple shots. They are the same bump on my 67 and my 62. All fenders are original and had original paint on them before I blasted them. The first picture is the right side and they way it should flow and same on both cars. The second picture is the left fender on my 67. The third is the left fender on my 62.  the forth is a different angle and where the tape is do you see the bump on the sweep of the bottom of car. This has been bothering me , So I am going to unroll  the bottom of fender and reroll so it lines up. Will shop pictures of progress as I finish.

OK it been changed. First picture-needed to figure where the new line was going to start. Second shot- Strip primer and hammer lip flat. Third shot- After hammered flat, I did a little prestretching in the eckold machine. Then hammered edge where it needed to go. Forth shot- I returned the 1/4 flange that runs along edge. Next shots I bolted fender back on ad did any detail fitting and the final result. Shit I hope it was wirth the trouble !
