I am doing some body work on a fender that I have on a body stand, (the common stand with the chains that hold it together, and have pipe foam on the cross bars).

Anyway When I try to put the dolly under it and apply presure it lifts the fender off the stand, or even worse when I try to sand the mud with my 17" long sand board the fender (and stand sometimes) move all over the place since I need both hands on the sander board graemlins/angry.gif

How can I secure the fender without damaging it any further than the crash did? I have even considered bolting it back on the car by a few bolts to keep it stationary but I can probably work the mud better when it is flat on it's side right? :confused:

Bolt it back to the car to get it to stay put. You can easily do your bondo work on the car and the fender will be in the correct shape to do your work on.

I gotta tell ya, the best fender stand I have found is a set of barbells on a weight bench stand.....

I jokingly hung mine on the one in the garage that was collecting dust and then I noticed how solid it held it in place....

Funny but it really works - just makse sure you got like 20 poind weights on each end, the fender will just hug those.
