I'm not sure...I'm still weighing whether we should redo this car or not. I'm just trying to figure on worst case scenerios....like needing new fenders. I'm in a HS auto shop....but we have no body facilities. We're a nuts and bolts only shop. sending body parts out for work will kill us financially. local body shops here don't want to do "old" metal work...they like fender swapping new models on the insurance companies dime! Seems no-one wants to do resto work. Mad

Dude, do whatever you can to use the originals (if you have them?) Not only do the repops fit badly, but they don't match the originals real well, once you add your bullets, the difference will be obvious. Wink

Not to hijack the thread but I was actually looking for rear fenders (have my original bullets already) but never see anything but repops. I hear that the reproduction stuff is actually a little narrower than the original ones. Is this true? Any recommendations for brands and/or suppliers?
