Re: cut in half for repair
At least with '68 fenders,if you line up the lower body line the top of the fender won't line up and visa-versa. The top of the fender (passenger side) doesn't have the proper arch and the hood looks sprung. Around the headlights is a gap that the bezel doesn't cover. Then there's the variation in crispness of the lines,as mentioned above.
There are different fenders made by different companies. The company I used may have changed their dies by now (I doubt it). But,the fact is,the reproduction stuff isn't as exact as original as you'd think. Replacing a whole part is one thing,but grafting I don't even want to think about what a nightmare that could be
