Hey everyone,
I'm starting to do the bodywork on the rear of the car, and I already know the passenger fender is too far gone(last person did BAD bodywork). I know a place I can get a 69 fender, but does it have the same dimensions?

DON'T KNOW IF THERE IS A DIFFERENCE BETWEEN '68 AND '69 FENDERS, BUT... ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT THE FENDERS (FRONT) OR QUARTER-PANELS (REAR)?

The eyebrow molding is different on the '68 and '69, so it is possible mounting holes for the trim may be different.

It's the front passenger fender. Apparantly a long time ago, someone decided to bondo the part behind the front tire using a newspaper backing.
Since the trim around the wheel opening was never there, I thought I'd just not worry about the molding as of now. My cousin is really good at bodywork and is helping me/teaching me about bodywork, so the side marker light is easy enough to deal with. My main worry was if the fender was physically the same dimensions so it'd look right without major bodywork.
Thanks everyone, I love this site http://www.chevelles.com/forum/smile.gif
