Re: Repop Fenders
Good luck. If I had to money I would buy all new sheet metal vs fixing the rust. Fixing rust is so time consuming, I've moded some new panels and found it a lot quicker to do than fix rust to just find bondo and more rust a foot down the same panel.

Re: Repop Fenders
the after market people are trying--not everybody can fit the patch panels correctly as cutting and welding and being perfect. You want a show tk, pay a pro to do it. for the guy that have the $$$ to pay for, or the skills to do some of the retro-fits this helps. bad mouthing some of this re-pops parts are not going to make them better--let the seller know maybe? try piecing out a bedside or fender if you have never done one before and making it look straight. just saying------------

Re: Repop Fenders
I'm curious, all you guys keep saying "Fix My Rust" parts are "free shipping"
(which is a BIG deal on fenders as we all know!), but when I look at their website and do the shopping cart, it shows shipping charges tacked on. What gives, do you have to call them to get free shipping? |

Re: Repop Fenders
I don't know about the seams on those fenders. If you look at the green fender the seam is tight and neat, the black fender looks like a trackhoe excavation in a creek.

Re: Repop Fenders
I used those same LMC fenders. You will definitely have to elongate a couple holes and maybe make a cut or two but it's worth the effort to have a rust free panel IMO. I've had rust show up on patched panels after 6 months before. Sucks to do all that work twice.
