I have a dilemma of what to do with the original front fenders. They need repairs and patchwork to the lowers and are going to need a bunch of time to do. One needs a new inner brace to be re-worked. The other has a patch on the inside and outside sandwiching the original metal. Looking at an extra $500 per side in labour to remove, re-work, cut and re-weld. I have a feeling though, that number will increase to around $800 per side. I can get new AMD fenders for $450/side. Dilemma is to go aftermarket or save the originals. What to do????

Looks like they are doing a great job! As far as the front fenders go...sometimes they are not worth fixing. Have you looked around to see if there are any in better condition for sale? There's nothing like OE metal but you have to decide if it's worth the cash to patch them up. Mine were too shot to fix so I bought some repops...took three sets to get a couple we could work with and they needed quite a bit of work to 'fit'! They are Goodmark but I am told the 69's fit way better than my 68's did. After going through that with my car...I would try very hard to get some OE metal.

There are a few guys around with good solid original fenders, but pricing is anywhere from $1200-1500 !!:_paranoid

Very nice man! They're making some great progress.:thumbsup:

Issues today with unequal length rocker panels. This is the factory original installation. Looks like we are going to have to section a piece out...about 1/4" long.

I also picked up a couple C4 Corvette spare tires for the front to clear my 6 Piston Wilwood's and get the Fikse's out of the shop before they get beat up.
