Good Repo Fenders
I have tried several with similar results. Fianlly I almost bought a pair of originals from Ames and an experienced bodyman gave me an alternative. He explained that it is always the lower area that makes people change these unless there has been an accident. JJ explained the top part is the hardest area to get correct. We went to his shop and he used an air saw and cut the lower section off at from the body line and replaced the lower section with generic replacements aboout three hours. After spotting the fenders in place inside and out, I went home and worked on the fenders for several weeks with my wire feed. Then ground the fenders smooth inside and out. The refit was perfect and everything was super easy to align. I figured my time and learning was far cheaper then the cost of the GM replacements. I also undercoated inside the fenders and this gave it the perfect finish. Most of the work was done on the car befor removing the fenders to finish the inside and paint. Real happy with the finished product since I did it my self. And the body lines lined up perfect compared to adding and removing shims and the 10 hours of nursing everything back into place. Just my opinion.
