WTB - 'Cuda Fenders?
« on: September 16, 2006 - 06:38:22 PM »


I am needing a good original passenger RH fender for my 73 'Cuda. I've looked on eBay but nothing as yet.
I'm guessing each year is different except for 72-74? Are repros any good or like most stuff is it utter crap?

Don't fit, bad quality......it's what we've come across so far. Made in the USA (but really China).  ::)
I'm thinking I'd be better off finding a solid original.

Sorry Bud, I've got no extras myself but I do know they don't repro those yet.
As intricate and difficult to make as they look I don't see anyone making good ones ever.  It's not like Chevelles for instance that are stamped basicly flat and have hidden flanges on the front.  Anybody who tries to make 'CUDA fenders will have to get all those compound curves just right and I don't think the thin gauge metal they use will work.
Probably why the Challenger fenders aren't working out too well :dunno:  I guess E-gay is the only way unless someone gets lucky at a swapmeet

G&D in Orange Park, FL, had a set of 72+ cuda fenders for $1,200 or one for $700. They are supposedly in good shape.
