I don't know about the chalk line, unless the fender is off the car and flat on the ground. Otherwise gravity will worka against you. I wonder if you could make us some kind of marker that would pilot off the crease just above it and make a line parallel to that crease. Something like the rounded end of a broom handle might just fit very nicely in the radius of that crease, then you just need something to hold a marker just the right distance from the broom handle. -- ******************************* Jim Adney, jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, Wisconsin, USA ******************************* ------------------------------------------------------------------- List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list | mailto:gregm@vwtype3.org
