Re: Disappointed with fit of aftermarket fenders

I have a set of OEM off a 66 that need very little repair and I slid one of those in place and it fit like a glove. I will be repairing these OEM fenders and the aftermarkets are going on Craigslist.

I have heard nearly everyone complain about aftermarket and I have to agree with them

I will post pictures later today.
We had the same problem, had 2 bad fenders that were original, cut them in half and put them back together, they fit better than the new reproductions.

here is a link showing how we joined the 2 together:
