Hey IM,
We purchased all of our body parts from Midwest Early Ford. We paid around $265ea for them - I think they are currently running around $240ea now. Not sure who the manufacturer is - I think the same one supplies most of the different parts houses. We've had no issues - I was worried that fiberglass would "look cheap" but these are nice & thick.

Good luck over there in Washington - except for today's ball game - Go Cowboys!!

I got mine at Bebops, fit fine with a little bit of sanding to get them to fit perfect. They seem to be strong and of course no rust issues. I used SS bolts with SS fender washers - and you have to drill all the holes yourself. I measured and marked from my existing rusty fenders to get the holes correct.

 

Thanks Ben. I must decide on a steel one with the cost of repairing it to a new set of fiberglass ones.
COWBOYS???? We shall see!

FOOMOO,

Thanks for your input. Who are "Bebops" Thanks.
Mike

 

I bought mine from Midwest too and I'm glad to here that they worked out nicely. I bought pretty much everything but my hood and cab with them. I hope it works out

I did something for drilling the holes in fiberglass fenders that may be of interest. I clamped the right fender to the new left fender, then used some light colored spray paint and sprayed lightly through the holes. It worked for me. can't garantee it but it is worth a shot.

 

Mine are from the now-defunct Gibbons, and had dimples where each hole needed to be. I thought that was pretty standard?

 

The flange on mine were smooth as a baby's, well you know. They are from Midwest. It takes me an hour to drive there, save a lot on shipping and I get to see what I am getting.

 

I wish, but mine from Bebops had no dimples. I just used a tape measure and a flat 48" ruler and they all worked fine, but it took some time and patience. I did have to do a little bit of sanding to get the seams just right.
