Inner Fender wells

I was doing a bit of work and cleanup under my front wheel wells and noticed some strangeness.
The Inner wheel wells have some funny looking ripples, a wavy pattern in the metal work. Both my drivers and passengers sided have this.
Anybody have set of OEM inner fenders laying around could you take a look and see if they were made is a similar way?

TIA

They are all like that some more than others. Just a result of stamping them out.

Sign of the times indeed.
They said "Build Ford Tough" not "Build Smooth"
Thanks Guys!

Those ripples help deaden the tin vibration sound and noise

I did the inner fenders and the inside of the hood on my 60 with undercoating back in 1975 when I build it. Really cut down on noise. I don't do shows I do hiways..

It has held up good other then turning a grey color. It was just brushed on and I did the underside of the truck also. Todays products aren't the same with all the regulations as they were in 1975. I don't think I was even aware of a bed liner material back then.
