Just because you do not understand how the work is done doesn't mean the end result is bad.

Been restoring cars for well over 30 years. I think I have a pretty good grasp of shit work when I see it and that picture I posted shows shit work.

Bottom line from an aesthetics point, if it does not look good enough without the fake fender to cover it, then it is shit. As to the final look, I have no problems.

From a structural point, it is probably no worse than a 10 year old car with rusted out wheel arches. So, yeah, it wont fall apart is the best I can say.

But not to worry, there are enough people on this planet that don't know shit form Shinola so this mod is bound to find people who buy it.
