Blucar, great advice. Thank you

V8Coopman Thanks for the info

I'm looking at some Jegs chrome smoothies...I know I want 15"..I don't know the bolt spacing on a original 40 ford or the off set back space...Any help would be appreciated

Sorry wrong category

Can anyone tell me what size 15" rim to purchase? I'm looking at Jegs chrome smoothies...so 15x7....5x4.5? And I'm not sure of the off set

Thanks for all the replies...after thinking about it and reading all your replies...I think I'll stay with the 6V..

My project 40 ford truck has a 6v system..but I'm missing my generator. The battery is still in and was hooked up....I'm thinking of converting to 12v so I can have a few modern accessories....my resto will be as close to stock as possible....what are the pros and con's to a 12v...

Thanks Deuce.Im amazed at the outpouring of support also

I'm going.to purchase a wooden mallet...I only have the steel ones with dollies

Alchemy ,such great advice...Thank you..I wouldn't have thought to patch rhe real rough area

I'm excited to learn...starting with this fender

Tomcarman,great idea...

Kube,Lube, never thanked you for your in depth reply to my restoration sequence question.....Thank you..

Thank you.....I agree stock is better

V8Fordman,wow you did a great job.Im hopefully going to be able to save it...My alternative is to source a steel fender.the drivers side is much better and I'm confident I can remove the dent.I just don't want 1 fiberglass fender on my project...Thanks so much for your time
