Here is where I am at after a few hours of work. A lot of work was done previously with the fender off the Otter trying to get the pieces close. Once the fender was bolted onto the hull I was able to do the final fitting. Ball peen hammer and a chunk of heavy metal were the main tools. I also made up a plywood jig to continually check my profile to keep everything in place. I’m quite happy with how it turned out. It had been suggested to me to simply replace them as they won’t look as nice as the rest of the vehicle once everything is restored. However I just couldn’t toss them considering how complete this vehicle is.
