1949 88 Sedanette rear fenders...

Recommended Posts

Found a good one family owned example with some rear fender rust problems. One is only wheel opening rust through and I believe I can patch panel it with hammer/dolly and shrinker stretcher, but the the other side has collision repaired damage high in the roofline fall section behind/below the rear window where it starts to flare out into a fender. Can’t tell by looking in the trunk area but was this all one piece of sheetmetal? Also, how does one get behind the front of the rear fenders where the big squarish trim piece is...through the back seat side panels??? And how does this big trim piece get removed? Do any factory manuals cover this???? LOL...are my questions clear as mud!?

You are on the right track. After you remove the inside upholstery panels beside the back seat there there's (probably) an access panel held on by screws. After that's off you'll see that the large  rectangular stainless fender shield is removed by loosening the attaching nuts around the perimeter of it.
