Worked on the 38 fender some more today. All that is left is grinding it down and some finish hammer work. But I'm out of the woods on the hard stuff. No cool bead roller so I had to make a bead.

Thanks guys. I alway appreciate the feedback on my work.

And the moment everyone has waited for. I tried to get the same angle for before and after.

This fender was one of those things I did just to see if I could. Plus the incentive for doing the fender I can live with.

Thanks Eman, I put alot of pride into my work. The satisfying part come when someone trust me to work on their tin. Of course making a little coin helps to.

Thought you all would like a newer pic of the 38, owner just set the fender and running board on for an idea.
