I need to source some new fenders and possibly a hood for my project. Nothing I've found or ordered seems to match up with the nose and fenders don't seem to ride the right way. Anyone have any suggestions or does anyone have any NOS old school ones hanging around. Thanks for your time either way.[/list][/quote]

I have yet to see a set of front fenders that match right up. Usually have to bend them some and the hoods never seem to have the right arc to line up with the steel up front.

Yeah I've been doing that but they are like more "flat" at the top of the fender. The original fenders were possibly the miller-havens or early flared empi Baja fenders and none want to cooperate, no matter how much massaging I do.

I have installed wide eye kits from both glass-action.com and markvfiberglass.com both places make very nice fiberglass. Im sure the bug eye stuff is just as good, but it is fiberglass and will need some persuasion.
