Having recently replaced the front panel on my 113 I know that the crease on the inside of the fender is exactly at the point where the fender and the front panel are welded together. This is approximately at the ten (or two) o'clock position. I presume that this joint was leaded at the factory as other joints were. Then the crease was filed in by skilled workers to mimic the head lamps as Don said. From much research on original vehicles I concluded that the crease is about 12- 15 mm long and no more than 1mm deepbut this information would not be specific enough in order to make the crease. It took some time to get it right and equal on both sides. It's amazing that someone cranked several of these out every day.
Has anyone a photo?

Hi
I' m varnishering my car, a mercedes 230 SL if 1966.
The headlight's chromium-plated frame has two steps:
the external one clashs with a crease that is in the whole side , the inner one continues with a step in the body car.
I would need a photo that evidences these details
Do you Know where can I find it or who can help me?
Thanks a lot
