67 Beaumont Fender repair
Permalink  

So it looks like getting regular fender patches really isn't worth doing for my car.  However maybe smaller pieces could be used to patch up the rust areas.  Does anybody know what gauge the outer sheet metal is?  I'm leaving the inner and just coating with Tremclad.  Todd's going to help with the cutting and welding in of new pieces.  I also wanted to know how that trim is secured?  Might decide to use that as the cut line and then blend paint below it, or just cut way down right at the rust.

 pics are on this thread, sorry couldn't seem to save and repost from my computer, look on second and third page of thread

I would use 18 guage,  just make templates from cardboard,  form them with you knee,  or go buy a profile guage from Princess auto.

Really really glad to see you are repairing only the nessesary areas,  whatever you do,  do NOT buy new fenders,  they will fit like crap,  best to repair the originals as you are doing

Best of luck

I use old scrap hoods, roof panels etc. Someone local to you must have an old car with a junk roof, hood, fender, trunk, something you can cut a chunk from?

 That's the way to go ... don't just take the "flat" parts, take the "curves" also ... saves time fabbing-up a curved piece.

Get yourself a couple of old hoods or trunks. Bent or rusted ones should be cheap. You can cut pieces out for the repair - and you can use pieces to practice welding and work out your heat & wire feed rate settings.

I just called my father-in-law about getting some old fenders. He's got a couple that he's not using on his 67 Malibu so i'm getting them for free for us to cut up and use. I'll pick them up next weekend. Having both fenders hopefully will give us lots of useable sheet metal.

Good stuff ... genuine vintage GM steel! Sure beats Princess Auto's cheap steel made out of recycled Kias!

I'm confused  

If you can get two decent fenders from a Malibu, why bother fixing yours?

If his aren't too bad, I'd recommend getting an old junk hood or trunk or fender off something no one wants. Even if his Malibu fenders have a little rust, they're likely a better starting point for someone than the new, reproductions ...

I don't think the fenders are that good and i'm basing that judgement on having seen the rest of the car.

I took the fenders over to Todd's place on Monday. I didn't have a camera with me but believe me when i say these are no where to being mint fenders but they'll be perfect for cutting up and getting pieces to patch my originals!

Good news Randy.

I'm about to cut the roof off this beauty for the same purpose (if needed down the road).

Darryl, that one looks in almost identical condition to the one I stripped the trim off for you a year ago or so. Same color and type of patina on the roof but yours has a little more. I wish our pick n pull would get some more of these oldies in there.

Good start!

What are you planning for the paint? Local paint store that can mix up up a small spray bomb to match?

It's a good thing welds grind down!biggrin We took a trip to the local NAPA. They do custom spray cans however they couldn't find the code on their computer. They are going to call the supplier on Monday. I managed to get the rest of the panel welded in, ground, and a coat of body filler. I'll take more photos tomorrow.

Nice work guys. Using re-cycled metal is the way to go, it's the correct gauge and gets ride of some old stuff from your garage. It will look great.

It's Granada Gold, right? I thought you had posted a picture of the cowl tag but I can't find it. Is it paint code G on the tag?

If so, it's on this page using the link in Library here. WA3667, about 3/4 of the way down the page. Someone should be able to make you a bomb that matches perfectly using that. http://paintref.com/cgi-bin/colorcodedisplay.cgi?manuf=GM&year=1967&page=4&rows=50

I found the old paint can when I did the 1/4 s The color I used was G8524ID it is for a 1983 NISSAN acrylic enamel, Napa mixed it up in a spray bomb around $22.00 Hope this helps
