1960 f100 body lines

Hi, I'm new here and I bought a 1960 f100 for my first truck and I have a question about the fenders. Where the fender flares out on the edge is that suposse to be flat or bent inwards slightly, because mine are bent inwards and I can't figure out with they are suposse

Its the front fender, and I can't figure out how to post a picture but it is the flare I guess it would be called along the bottom of the fender mine just angles in slightly and I'm not sure if it should be like that or not.

Welcome to the forum Zac!
Is this the area of the front fender you are referring to.

You can see the old portion (common rust through area) laying above the new repair panel welded in on the DS front fender.
I tried to find a photo that showed the flare shape better but this is about a good as I could do.
So tell us more about your project.

Yes! Mine are slightly angled in, and basicly my project is a 1960 f100 with a 223, mechanicly is it sound it, the floor boards on passenger side need fixed along with cab corners also along the bed where the wheel wells were spot welded is rusting my goal is to restore it and make it a daily drive
