I have some really rusted out fenders on a 2N. What is the best way to braze up the holes? Would it better to use a patch? Slow going trying to fill them..

Unless you are going for "brass fenders", I would replace them. Even import reproduction fenders will be better than those repaired. Even if you repair them, grind them smooth, prime and paint, rust will show its ugly head eventually. Rust is the devil.

I'm normally all for trying to save as many original parts as you can. After seeing the pics of your fender skins I think I would go with replacements if I were you.

if at all possible, cut out the rusted areas and weld in new sheet metal. if you have a mig welder its a lot easier. if all you have access to is a brazing torch, it can be done, you have to take your time any try not to overheat the panels so they warp.if you are doing bodywork over the brazed areas, use a fiberglass reinforced filler as your first coat over the brass, not bondo, bondo will not stick well to brass. here is a link to the product, or any similiar from napa or your nearest auto body supplier

With all due respect , a good body man could fix these but a smart body man would replace them! They are too far gone and there are too many good alternatives to try repairing them.

I'll go along with that--too far gone to fix-way too far! And, if ya get one side repaired, then what about the other side? (Thats inner and outer!?! Fixing car fenders was done that way, because ya couldn't usually see the inside of them, but a 2 sided tractor fender is a whole new ball-game. You'll spend $400 to fix them, where ya can buy new ones for $60? MMM-HMMM! What was it that old P.T.Barnum said?
