Re: Sheetmetal fit
GM.
Just can't help myself sometimes  Seems most of the sheetmetal retailers may all have same suppliers. Shop by price, and hopefully you'll get some good referrals. |

Re: Sheetmetal fit
I want to copy-and-paste the advice it has more to do with that since it was new, it's had a straight frame, no previous wrecks, no hacked-up body work ever done.
Probably more items.

Re: Sheetmetal fit
I did need a front fender for my 58.Looked on line to find the best prices.Then one day I went by the local Hot Rod shop and asked them there if they could get me the fender (Repop) and surprising enough they could,cheaper by alot lees than I could find anywhere online,plus free shipping.Don't count the locals out,shipping on fenders is alot

Re: Sheetmetal fit
When the fat doe t-boned me, I went with a hood and fender from LMC in Kansas City.
Good service and I have used the hood at least once a month for the past three years and it is great!
