So, I still wasn't completely sold on my claw design - I just couldn't decide if I liked the smaller half of the claw sticking up, or if I should try something else. And after much deliberation, I decided that if I just cut it off, I would have to worry any more! If it's gone, then it's gone - time to move on!
Once it was gone I knew I made the right decision! I grabbed another fender for the new top half, and I was immediately in love :)
Getting closer to the finish point...
...even closer...
...now I just have to fill in holes, let it dry, and it'll be ready! Again, I resorted to bond-o as my gap filler (with a little bit of sticky-backed metal mesh). As I'm working with vehicle parts, it just made sense to use vehicle repair methods...no need to reinvent the claw!
