Oh yea, I understand why it is there. You would definitely have to "bridge the gap" on the underside of the fender. I am no body man but I have to believe that it can be done. Regards, Sandy

Yeah, doing the mod is not that big a challenge, IF one knows what one is doing. However, it would be time-consuming and tedious to do it correctly/without warpage. I guess we have different ideas a

What is the procedure for replacing the fender beading on the bonnet of a 59 Sprite. The top section of the beading was rusted where it meets the section for holding the beading in place, so it came
