Re: Sheet Metal

I'm kind of opinionated on this stuff. My 57 has junk Chinese crap for doors and fenders. The lines aren't great and the fit is worse. I realize that you are far away from the west but if possible id search for some straight, rust free originals. You won't be disappointed like I was in the aftermarket junk on my truck. My inner fenders came from a west Texas truck that I had shipped to my house in Virginia from eBay. Now that I love in the desert I realize that there is still quite a bit of good oe parts around. I'm confident you can get good used parts cheaper than repro stuff as well. One of these days I plan to pull my repro stuff in favor of used oe stuff.
If I were to do mine again from the start, I would go this route. Just my .02.
