I got back from Singapore yesterday and went and pickup my fenders.
I had taken both the left and right to a fella to have the lower dog leg area repaired due to rust holes.
He sandblasted them, then sprayed the fender inside and out with a silicon bronze. Never going to rust there again.
I have before and after photo's of the right side. I did not have time to get a photo of the left side. The left side was the worst. It's lower lip edge was actually rusted away.
On this area he built it up and I will have to finish to what I want it to be. He also sprayed the rust through on the right fender where the valance attached, which is what started all this. I found out how bad that was when I took measurements for the other poster who was attaching his front spoiler.
Here are some photos plus a link to more.
This is after wire brushing. This was worse after sand blasting.
Now the after metal spray photo.
The right valance rust through and repair
Heres the link to more.

I think this process is a winner. It will still need some finish work, and most likely a little bondo to smooth it all out entirely. It was $125.00 per fender.
The silicon bronze will sand and grind to allow shaping. As I do that I will post some more.
