Hello from Andrews AFB, MD. I have just finished working on my driver's side inner and don't even want to start on my passenger side. I am very interested in the glass fenders. Price and shipping costs would be awesome to have. It will give me something to save for. Also, would there be any chance of receiving a military discount? I can always hope can't I?

**JIMs70GMC** · 02-14-2005, 12:59 PM

I'm also interested.

jims69 · 02-14-2005, 05:57 PM

I called the man who makes them today he told me they were $100 a set, as far as fit I am not sure Ihaven't installed mine and probably woln't for some time as my truck is torn apart and doubt that it will be back together anytime soon. Some of my friends have put them on the 73-87's and they fit ok.
The company that sells them is Fibercast Products he also has some of our truck parts laying around. His number is 724-948-3309

Did I read that correctly? Is it true that the inner fenders from 73-87's fit the 67-72's?

72ChevyRock · 02-17-2005, 11:33 AM

I want a pair. I am located on Andrews AFB, MD about 2 hours from Whitetail Mountain Ski Resort. I will call soon to get more details about shipping. I may just make a trip up there and pick up a pair. If I find out anymore information, I'll post it.

67ChevyC10Stepside · 02-14-2005, 06:05 PM

that's my area code.....where are they located?

jims69 · 02-14-2005, 11:17 PM

The inners are at a place called Fibercast products in Prosperity PA. about 15 min out of Washington.

sdkid · 02-15-2005, 12:03 AM

Anyone care to guess at shipping to 57501. How much would they weigh?

shane's67 · 02-16-2005, 02:59 PM

can you get a phone # or adress or email thanks

jims69 · 02-17-2005, 06:48 PM

No he makes two different sets, I know people with the 73-87 style that have them installed.

ratrod67 · 02-17-2005, 07:19 PM

Just to add a little to the post.

I had a 69 Camaro with Harwood fiberglass inner fenders and had them smoothed and painted body color. I was driving on the freeway about 60 or so and ran through some gravel. I ended up with about 10 or so cracks where the rocks hit. Called Harwood and was told that the fiberglass parts were usually used for drag race or show type vehicles and there was no warranty. Ended up pulling them out and replacing them with steel.

Would it help to coat the side toward the road with a spray type coating? I work at an auto dealer and our body shop sprays box liners. I wonder if that would stop the cracking.
