The new 3M metal to metal bonding glue is fabulous! No more warped panels
and hours of grinding stitch welds. Try it you'll like it. Get a flanging
tool to do the job right. dave

Bob, on the original fender you will need to open up the crimped edge  
and remove the piece that attaches the fender to the hinge pillar.  
Then you can insert into the new section and pinch in place.

The other option is I have the fender attachment plate that pinches  
in the fender and attaches to the hinge pillar for the 6 cylinder  
cars and could be modified for the 4 cylinder cars.
