right front fender

I can't find the old link, but I seem to remember that someone, knew of a source for new front fenders of only one side. If it was Bill or others, I am looking for a right front 2WD 1966 fender after a recent bump. Hope it was't left.

Posting link to nice used one 'buy it now' that appears to be in good condition:

If you have the original, and not too badly damaged, a good auto body person can work wonders?

good question, you can get a reproduction fender from LMC for the same price, and their definition of "rust free" and mine must be different based on the pictures in that ad

Good question, My left one needs replacing. I've been considering getting one from National Parts Depot over in Charlotte. They show them for $250. But I'm afraid it either won't fit correctly or will be as thin as tin foil.

Shopping for reproduction rear fenders few years back, DC had them on backorder, after couple weeks ordered from another Ford part supplier and found the metal gage was about as thick as an alum can. Not sure if the Ford suppliers order from same source??
