The fender section is now conforming to the buck very well and it is very smooth. The next step is to form the wheel opening joggle and also to turn in the lower rear edge lip, which has a varying radius.

The fender is clamped tightly to the buck and then a wood former is used to reveal the wheel opening joggle and also to start forming the lower lip.

The fender has been bolted to the buck along it's attachment edge. These holes are in the exact location and were copied from the original fender when the buck was made. This type of molded wireform buck allows you to see how the fit is coming, because you have full access to the backside. It also allows you to index or locate and form details in their correct locations. It also allows easy clamping. Clamping zones or pads can be made on the inside of the buck.
