I'm about ready to pass up on these R&L front fender extensions and go with FG which might end up being cost effective for a guy that doesn't weld and will end up paying someoneone to weld patches even if they exist.
It looks like there was a previous patch on the left front panel but it too is rotted out.
I've looked all over and I haven't seen any prefab patches for these extension panels. Ebay has 2 FG for $160 + $60 shipping which may be my best option.
Any thoughts??
Thanks.

 

I bought new ones(metal) from northern classics a little work to make them fit


Lt side
Not sure if they are still open or not

 

I do believe that they are out of business and they only made the lower fenders for a short while and to my knowledge are not available. I think that you are among the fortunate few that purchased a pair.

 

Yea..called them yesterday..appears their out of business..I think I'll try selling my steel extensions to someone with a welding skill to offset the cost of new FG extensions
BTW..that patch on the front fender..need that too. Was that a purchased patch or did you fab that yourself?

 

I made the patch used axracer's tutorial it came out ok
I made the backer inside also

 

My lowers were in need of some body work as a lot are. I ran with fibreglass lowers up until this last year, when I finally got around to installing the repaired metal lowers. The fitment of the FG was not perfect, but they were a good temporary fix.

 

Why not use fiberglass to patch and repair yours?

 

Fiberglass repair sounds like a stretch for me..but just maybe..humm

In the meantime I've put them up for sale on CL & EB to say what I can fetch for them.

If I can sell them I'll probably end up buying the FG.

Midwest early ford has new steel for $550 a pair plus shipping. Gulpp!!
Thanks for your input.

 

It is really pretty easy. Use the woven mat (looks like cloth not shredded mat), mix the 2-part resin, paint the area to be covered, lay down the cloth and then with a dabbing motion saturate the cloth. Oh . . . And wear rubber gloves.
