55 Chevy Repop sheet metal.
 
This may have been discussed but... Is anyone having good luck with aftermarket fenders both front and rear? How is the fit? Are you needing to massage them alot to fit? Any links to the better manufacturers?
I'm using my Samsung Note and when I try to search this forum it goes to the internet.

All body parts have to be massaged to fit, these trucks did not even come from the factory with perfectly aligned body parts. That being said, most aftermarket fenders are now made overseas, I've used fenders from both Dynacorn and Goodmark.

Bam has a good write up on his fender repairs. He go repops but found the mounting points were so far off he ended up keeping those from the originals and grafting in the new metal. Here is a link to his build thread, long but lots of good information.
