Fitting up the left front cab corner..
Filled in the bumper cutout again and welded up the corner.
Next I will cut out the rest of the cowl along the wheel arch and replace this...
Making a patch for the left side now.
Here is just a flat piece with a few lines drawn where it will be trimmed and where I need to tip the metal to form the arch.
You see two different arch lines drawn on the panel. This is needed to form the 3-dimensional curve.
Next I use the tipping dies of my bead roller to start the edge of the curves.
I tipped from the back side for the upper arch ( which is the actual arch that follows the fender)
and then I tip the front side from my ZERO mark to 3/8 down from the upper line.
I still need to wheel more shape into the piece so it matches the contours of the side cowl.
