YES! Marv Gruber is an option....his collection started with his dad and
there are a few buildings filled with parts and cars. I have been there a
couple of times.
Impressive! Joe A.

John,
I agree, fiberglass fenders are not an option. I tried them with the rears and
the fit was terrible. I ended up sourcing a pretty good used set from a guy in
Alabama. They were in very good condition and fit perfect.
The problem with the fronts is if rocker areas are gone you will have a hard
time repairing them. I dont think the repair clips are available. At least
when I tried to get a set for my 63 4 they were NLA.
I sourced my rears from this real nice guy: Marv Gruber. His email address
is: mgruber921@aol.com.
I think he has a barn full of 6 parts so you may want to fire an email to him.
Please mention my email address and the fact that he did a very good job for
me on my fender requirement. Price was right and he even shipped the fenders
to me before I sent the $ to him for the fenders and shipping.
Bob
