Jim, I'd definitely still mention it so they know there's a lot of people in on this cause, so hopefully they take it to heart like I'm assuming they will. They've always been at the top of their class at what they do and seem very friendly when I asked them questions via the Net as well as in person.
That fender is solid, but the part that scares me is how badly the front portion has been repaired in the past. It'd take some caressing to make it presentable, but can be better than dealing with rust repair.
