 To shape the filler rear filler panels, Tony relied on an english wheel. |  Each panel was trimmed to fit precisely and carefully and tack welded to prevent warpage. still, some skilled hammer and dolly work is required to maintain the proper shape. |  More tack welds were added, and then the spaces between them were welded. note how the dogleg in the cut preserved the complicated curves in the rear of the fender. |
 As with the rear of the fenders, paper patterns were made for the front filler pieces. |  Just as in the rear, a filler panel was cut and tacked in place. |  Once all the welding was done, a body file was used to show the high and low spots. At this point, hammer and dolly work, lead, or plastic filler is required to make the fender perfectly straight. |
 As a result of Tony's abilities, after some metalworking the filler panels are hard to detect. |  With a dab of filler and some primer-surfacer, this is the end result-a fender that looks better than new. | |
