Re: [FWDLK] funky chrome spear thingy

Since you're probably blasting them, have a small patch welded from underneath the hole, then filled with filler. Filler will last a long time if the surface and underside is prepped properly.....

Subject: [FWDLK] funky chrome spear thingy

----- Original Message ----- I once sold a front fender with headlight
bucket, and fenderwell liner because it had some funky (later I learned it
was optional on a 300) chrome spear thing
on the top of the fender. And I was glad to see it go!!!!

Finally, a pithy question I can relate to!  [Not a pissy comment to
ignore...]

I just picked up a nice rust-free set of fenders for my '58 DeSoto Firedome
in California after a five year search for a good reasonable pair.  Problem
is they're from a '57; same sheet metal but side trim in a different place
and those hellacious double chrome spears on top.

What's the best way to fill in the holes?  I've heard they can be welded a
little at a time from the outside in, and that's preferable to bondo.  Any
other suggestions?
