My chevelle needs fenders. I am leaning towards fiberglass fenders or maybe even a fiberglass front-end. Anyone on here have a full fiberglass frontend? I've seen them on the net for around $400 to $500.

a friend of mine has a full glass front end on his 66 elco. The fit sucks and the hitting a bump you can see the fenders flex. If i were youi would keep steel feders, and if anything go with just a glass hood, unless its a full race car. Just my .02...

thnaks for the reply. I saw a picture of a fiberglass front-end the other day it didn't line up very good near the fenders. I thought maybe it was a fluke. I guess not.
