Replacing fenders

[chongo25]

I have been told that it would be hard to fix or cant be fix on of the fenders on my Challenger. The one side has a seam running along the diver side fender The other side looks not as bad but damaged. I bought to straight and rust free 73 fenders. My question is does replacing the fenders effect much on the originality of the car a lot? Or should i pay a lot to try to keep it original.  I would like to keep it as original as I can if I can.  Just looking for opinions.

Just change them. No reason to save the original ones if you already have bought a good set.

I would rather have, or buy a car that has nice clean rust free fenders, then have some fenders that I know are patched up and full of filler...

Advertsing a car with "all original panels" means nothing if they are full of patches and bondo...

Makes sense to me. Probably will save me money in the long run when it comes to the body work too. I was just trying to get thoughts on what others think about switching pieces out v

Does this include fenders from a 73 on a 72? It really doesn't matter to me since I am keeping the car for a long time but just wondering.
