We've had a Major set-back with WCC Interiors....after 6 MONTH'S it looks like the material will "FINALLY" be with them shortly and they can get to work on it....!!!! I REALLY wish WCC would have informed US that the "Material" was NOT in Stock when we ordered it.....!?!?!? Still Hopeful----Ever Vigilant !!!!

A New Day is on the Horizon !!!!

Those fenders are 58-59 euro fenders, dimples on the back of bucket and two drain holes. Orig 55 and earlier fenders have smooth buckets and only one drain hole. Those can be made to look correct by getting rid of dimples and welding up drain holes and making a single hole. I've had to do that in the past on some early restoration projects.
