The original fender, wearing about 1/2 gallon of body filler where a tree limb fell on the car during a tornado.

Sourced NOS 1949 Fender (original damaged by tornado)

Backside prepped, primed, and undercoated

71 years of being moved from barn to barn resulted in some small dents requiring filler.

Epoxy primer sprayed, sanded

Urethane primer/sealer sprayed, awaiting wet sanding and color!

She's finally in color! (Vernon Green). All that's left to do now is the time-consuming process of color sanding and buffing.

Wet sand until you hate it, then do it some more. Then buff this very nice single stage paint to a glorious shine.

Oh hey, I know that guy.

Reassembly begins! Arguably the best part of this type of project.

Completion.
