Welcome...
I have one you can have if you can get to western WA (Edmonds, WA area would be best). The outer skin is in good shape, there is rust along the top inner fender interface point, a new piece should be welded in.

before you were born huh,,now i feel old,,,lol
nt doing any thing this winter,,altho i have a ton of new items laying around,,if i ever get to it im going to re wire the entire car, smooth out the engine bay and re paint the engine bay,,,then insulate the floor of sound and heat,,in the summer its very hot in this car,,,,and not to bad when its cold out,,, i have to get my street rod back on the road,,,,this winter,,,
your doing s fine job,,,love the tubbed look ,,,did you have the rear narrowed??? leafs or 4 link ???
the first time i changed it to a 4 speed i found a donor car later model dart,,and used all that stuff worked like that for years,, i did the conversion in a parking lot of a town home i was renting at the time,,,aaah to be young again,,,,,
now its all hydrualic,,,,a system i made from looking at several other ideas from a lot of other cars on the mopar sites,,,just keep plugging away you will get there

i hate the winter it makes it hard to get things done. the high around heres been in the 20's. it has four link. narrowed it myself. i sent the axels off and then shortend the housing myself. when i get the money i wanna do some kinda roll bar. but i'm looking for a fender right now cuz im doing body work and it needs replaced. the ones on ebay are anywhere form 3 to 400 dollers. i think thats way to much. parts for these cars are not cheep.

Here are pictures of the fender I have. As you can see, it does have some rust issues. Sorry for the picture quality, it was getting dark and the camera was having trouble focusing. If you are still interested, we can work out the details to get it to you.
