Re: Front fender replacements?

I would avoid aftermarket like the plague. My fenders were 1/4" too short and wouldn't reach the grill support or bolt up properly. They may also claim to be as thick, but they are soft and dent really easy. It's not a good comparison. It's almost the same as comparing steel wire to soldering wire. I bought two sets of inner fenders. One worked ok with massaging and removing and rewelding mounting points. The other set is not usable without even more work. I'd use factory parts and rework them. I bought a dynacorn door and sold it again for half price to someone that was willing to accept the lesser quality. Never again will I buy aftermarket sheet metal. I did buy a front bed panel from MAR-K that was awesome and made in America, so that is my one exception.
