47 1959 TR3A Front Fender Fabrication blocking shape and version 2

No conclusion here as I'm battling "blocking hammer elbow" sometimes also known as tennis elbow or elbow bursitis. Posting so dad can see the progress, or lack thereof...

Nice to see you giving it a try at making your own panels. I had to abandon my first try at my door skins also but was much better with the second set. Hope to get back to working on my car in a week or so. Love the videos. Frank

Thanks Frank... it seems I need to completely eff up at least one version and that locks in the issues enough that version 2 is more manageable. At lest that is what I'm telling myself will happen when I can handle the blocking of v2. Have a great weekend... Mike

Top work.... You've been watching Peter?...

[@mikeg5877]

I certainly have. The down under maestro.

thats more ambitious than me. I have been working on my front fenders also but I have been working mine out. My wife heard me from the house out in the shop pounding and said "what are you doing out there ?" I said I was getting my aggression out. I have enough for a vid I need to get out.

Me too Mike!

Following along! Got my popcorn 😉

Hey Mike... yeah it seems I am a glutton for punishment. My elbow is telling me that I was working out a bit too much of my aggression on the panel. I figure if I can make this fender then any knuckle dragging panel beater wannabe can do it. I'll try to leave breadcrumbs ;-)
