Kabwe, You must have gotten a bad one. Did you not know that EVERYTHING that you buy fits perfect with out any modifications. That is the big joke between my buddies and me. It does not mater what it is it does not fit! Great job on the fender. At least now it will fit!

This is what is left of a new fender that I used for patch panels because the fitment was so bad. I used the rear for another fender for a buddy. It still has some use so I will not throw it out. It still has a good brace, eyebrow, and front and top panel. Somebody may need a piece of it so I will keep it. I know too many hotrodders to throw it out. I don't know about the other new fenders, but the fitment for this one was garbage.

It gave its life so others may live. Very heroic.

If you are serious, just tell me what you need cut off of it and its yours for the shipping. PM me if you really need me to cut off a part and send it to you.

Re: Kabwe's aka Bam's build
 
Like you did, I'd rather spend 10 hours fixing an original fender than spend 10 frustrating hours trying to make an aftermarket fender fit. They make great patch panels, though.

Checked you out on youtube. Great stuff. Hope that you make it big. Big changes here in LA compared to where you are from.

Thanks hotrod1! You only live once, so I've decided I'm going for it. I'm just sad because I had to leave my old truck at home for now... hopefully someday I'll get it on the road.

See thats skill, my lazy a** would have bolted on the aftermarket fender and been happy. Watching your build helps me to not settle and make it right the first time.

Hey man that is a very nice offer and I may have to take you up on that one of these days. Yeah we 47-59 guys in Cali really should get together for a meet and greet or something. Just to talk trucks and put faces with usernames.lol Vdog and the guys in the 60's forums have gotten together a couple of times. I guess us 47-59 guys could take a lesson from them and get together for lunch or something just to talk cars.

Yeah but when I went there is only 1960's truck guys and they were acting all uppity (not true just joking) because I did not have a 1960's truck and I had no one to talk to about the real classics.lol

But like I said you 60's truck guys get together I don't know whats wrong with us 47-59 guys.

By the way Shannon we are not far away, you are my friend.lol
