[6pack] Fender Help?

[n197tr4 at cs.com]

 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 at 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
