Kinda new to this room and had a body question, so i fugured i'd exercise my right to say hello to the natives…

here goes, They make fender skins for the back fenders and i was curious to know if they made skins for the front? I was under the impression that they were thinner and lighter? In the eventh that they do make them, who can i get in touch with for pring? Thanks guys i appreciate it…

You can get rear quaterpanel skins, Door Skins, and for the front fenders, you can buy replacement fenders, or some patch panels depending on the area needing replacement. You can contact the site sponsor Ground Up (link should be at the bottom of this page) or places like Year One, Austly's, or any other chevelle parts supplier. Most of them will sell "Goodmark" panels which many people have found too be of good/excellent quality. So you shouldn't have a problem finding what you need. Good Luck.. the engine looks sweet http://www.chevelles.com/forum/biggrin.gif

You can only get fender patches for the back of the fneder. I bought some patches from OPG that were US made, cost 50 bucks apiece and they were the biggest waste of a 100 dollar bill I ever made. The fit was down right terrible, the curves and bends were not even close. The only good thing about them was that they were the same gauge of metal. My advice is if you need patches for your car try to locate an original fender that is beyond repair but has the patch you need.
