Stop in for a cup of coffee

yeh, aren't they $500ish? I don't think it's been very long since they started making them. I had looked a few years ago and don't think anybody made them then. I didn't see any Dusters at Klingers. Plenty of other A's -Dart, Scamp... I have a local yard that may have one, but he aint cheap. I'd guess 150++ for a fender, and still probably needs work. An actual good one would be a rare find, at least around here in road salt country. I did metal surgery on mine.

In addition to the usual lower back patches...

If I remember , I think they were over $550 ish + the crazy freight.

I take it fiberglass is not an option...

don't recall if I entertained the thought long enough to consider the freight. A lot of that is how they choose to ship it. Some are all about THEIR convenience, others will actually work with you to minimize the cost.

I have thought about it. You hear the stories how ill fitting they are, but glass pretty easy to work with.

DUSTER & VALIANT 67, 70-72 & 73-76

I have a pair of fiberglass fenders - bought them years ago, but I think it was from Unlimited..

oh - my car has a Ford 9 in it - I have an 8.75 sitting on the garage floor - - that's not gonna help with ride height though...

I have an 8.75, but its height is however high the box it's sitting on is...

That might be my best option, I believe those were the ones I was looking at. I read on here where someone had riveted them to the steel headlight buckets and was pretty happy with the outcome.

 

[ScampMike]

thing with a four link is you have all that adjustment -

 

[dukeboy440]

very true.

 

[ScampMike]

exactly - mine is on milk crates...

 

[ScampMike]

very true.

so what - you're just looking for a baseline?

 

[dukeboy440]

so what - you're just looking for a baseline?

yeah, just to be close. really only need the distance from the center of the pumpkin to the floor pan.

 

[MOPARMITCH]

I can check mine.. After I stuff my face and git out to the shop.

You mean I gotta CRAWL under the car ??

I have a unhappy friend when it comes to fiberglass. He used glass fenders and hood on his notch back and after a year it's already starting to spider web on some of the edges.
