I see your point its all about the guy restoring the car. I say for the money a rust free correct year fender costs who wouldn't want the correct year part. Take a late model fender and pay a body guy money to weld on the correct front valance brackets (excluding upper inside brace) and fix some rust and your well beyond the cost of finding a correct rust free part.

Sure you can use a bunch of parts from various years and end up with a cool driver, you'll end up with a car like this. Wrong fenders are just the start for this peach. Again probably a decent driver for someone looking to have fun but I vote if your going to spend the money do it right. The sharks stomachs may explode on this one.
