I hear guys say toss parts and buy new all the time.Like there`s only two considerations:time vs money.That may be true on newer body work.But,on older stuff like this I say bull!All we hear is how this fender doesn`t fit or the new stuff dents easy(let`s see how quick it rusts).We see bondo going on brand new sheetmetal to get it straight.So,I have a pair of`67 fenders from a clip I bought,original paint.I was going to toss them because the passenger one has the cup rot from the battery and the driver`s has a verticle dent above the wheel arch to the rear.But,after trying to find two decent used fenders that the rest of the world doesn`t want ahaead of me and avoiding new metal as long as I can....they`re gettin`fixed and bolted-up.
The same on my`72 CheyenneSuper...the door bottom skins are rusted,just the skin.I can`t see replacing those with repros and good used doors are tough to find or ship.It`s alot of work putting the guts into a door,too.The plan,if I kept it,was to put new bottom skins on.I may do the inner bottoms just to eliminate the speaker holes.But,only if I see rust getting into that part.Gotta put speakers somewhere.
