Inner fender blues
I am trying to recreate my rusted away inner fenders from what's left. I have everything except for the last ten inches where the inner fender hits the radiator support. Does anyone have any good pictures of how the inner fender looks and fits into the radiator support in this area?
Thanks -Brian

Re: Inner fender blues
Why bother with them? Check out Certifit. They sale them for around $40.

Re: Inner fender blues
 You will spend a lot more time (what is yours worth?) trying to re-gain what you believe to be unobtainable, than it will cost to replace them. Time = money.

Re: Inner fender blues
Hey NWD02, how good is the quality of the Certifit parts? I have one of their stores here in the DFW area and their prices are quite a bit cheaper than anywhere else I've seen so I'm curious, whats the catch?

Re: Inner fender blues
I will be ordering some soon. Anyone know where to get good fitting radiator supports too? Those got pretty hosed up. I have heard fitment can be a huge issue.

Re: Inner fender blues
I bought most of the nose for a '99 Toyota Avalon from Certi-Fit; about $450 all together (Hood, pas fender, bumper, bumper cover, pas headlight ass) - even picking around the internet, it was STILL 1/3 the price I could find anywhere. You can open the part and check it out before you pay for it and leave the store. Mostly only have major parts - no brackets, supports etc. I put the car back together with out elongating one hole or bending one piece of anthing. I was very happy with the quality of the parts and the primer finish on them. That all being said, I put them on a car that was all smashed up in the front frame area, cut and welded up.... took some work but the parts made my work look great.

Re: Inner fender blues
Sounds good! Now that I've spent all that time ressurecting my pass inner fender like Bowtie001 was talking about doing...
