Hey guys,
My dad backed my mother's full size van into my El Camino on Saturday, and the left front fender took quite a beating. The sheet metal surrounding the headlights got creased very badly along the outer edge. I don't think it's repairable unless I use gobs of bondo, so I was wondering if the replacement piece from Year One is a good replacement? Should I go to Ground Up or GM instead?

Thanks,
Ryan

hey, Ryan tempe or just outside of town is full of salvage yards ( i use to live there) i'd hit a couple of them first ,I'm sure you would find what your looking for at a reasonable cost . Dan

You can find the extensions used in a lot of places, I'd get one that way so you could be sure it'd fit right and then blast and paint it. Year One, Ground Up and GM are also ok too.

Does she have insurance? http://www.chevelles.com/forum/biggrin.gif

Be careful of which fenders you buy, and who you buy them from. Goodmark is probably your best bet for the fender.
