My '74 4/4 will be getting some paintwork attention this spring/summer and one of the things that needs addressing is the front wing outer edge profile. In places the profile is missing presumably due to repairs over the years.I've no idea what's under the paint yet but there is metal there (passes the magnet test). It looks like the rear 10 inches of the front wings have been replaced without any attempt to re-profile the edges which shows a bit of lack of attention but there are other places also. I'm a bit loath to strip back to bare metal at the moment as I don't want to leave any bare metal exposed longer than I have to. Other than completely new wings (not going to happen!) is there any method that forum members are aware of that will enable me to reconstruct the missing sections. Current thinking is using body filler and a profiling mould.

Edit: I believe my wings have what is called a swaged edge with a wire bead. I see that the aluminium wings have this profile by glueing a moulding onto the (flat) edge of the wing.
