Does anybody have experiance with fiberglass front fenders, What types? do they fit well?

by **Dave-R (Roppa440)** » 14 Jul 2003 20:48

They all fit badly and need modification. They all have thin spots. Some are very flimsy. All requre a LOT of work to get straight. In general they are only worth it if you really need the weight reduction or if you really can't get hold of a decent steel one.

Check Dales stuff out, have a look at Pete's Barracuda, they have to be the best glass panels around, same as the ones on the front of Andy's car, great stuff..

Dales stuff is very much the exception but I understand you have to wait for it and I doubt it is readily available to people outside the UK?

Correct me if I am wrong there.

Dale's stuff is excellent quality, he just did me a six-pack hood. Unfortunately, he doesn't have any front fender moulds for Challengers. I asked about 6 weeks ago. He told me he would do some moulds if I could source some decent steel originals.

there is a scheme afoot via a cetian New York Brummie to make them available I think?

If you don't need the weight reduction, you could always go for the real deal. Check out these NOS items:

At that price, I believe somebody is taken for a ride...

Never mind my previous post:

The front fenders were at that time listed with something like 5 bids and a counting bid of around $6600. I see they are now back to a somewhat more reasonable price of $2000, and zero bids yet. I knew something had to be fundamentally wrong with this...
