Re: cut in half for repair

Double check on these "fender halves". I bought a set for my 67 to use as patches. They ARE NOT COMPLETE FENDER HALVES! At least the ones I bought were not, they are the outer skin part only, they are meant for patching, not replacing.

I think I might just become a real member on here and list it. Seems like a lot of people on here are in need of good parts.

I hadn't thought about that. I just thought that if it was done right then I wouldn't have to worry about any rust issues.

I'm not sure if it's just the skin or the actual front half fender. It doesn't say, but here's the link. You can look at it and let me know since you have experience.
