Found some new old stock fenders for my 40 - 110 they wnt $1250 Each.
Any one here think that alto???
part that sucks I have only been able to find 1 set for this project.

I had thought about having someone beat the old ones into shape but don't think its worth the $$$$

anyone's thoughts??????

Sounds like you're better of with a parts car like yhis for $800

NOS doesnt mean they fit and their ready to paint so bwhere. I was handed some NOS FORD fenders yrs back that didnt fit for shit. From what i could figure out they were rejects from the period and thats why they were never used. U run into this same problem with reproduction stuff too.

No easy answer.

you realize that the 110-120-1803, in the same body style, are the same, yes? But the fronts are 110 only due to the shorter hood

I think BKaz is correct. But that said, good rear fenders are nearly impossible to find. If you think you can come out better on the new ones rather than beating the old ones, go for it.

Usually, if not always, there are also rust issues where fender meets body, and you can't see the rust until you remove the fenders... or at least remove the wheels and look up. I would suspect that the fenders on that parts car are going to cost a LOT more than $1250 to restore.

the 120 fenders are 7" longer than the 110 found that the hard way when i bought 120 fenders
