Unbelieveable job Gerson - thank you very much!

I'll definitely be in the market for at least one front pair when you are ready - just keep us posted as you have been doing.

Can't wait for the heater channels and floors!!!

Oh, and rear fenders would be quite special, too.

Awesome.

Reporting back from WinterJam. Had a chance to really look close at the new driver side front fender. Gerson, it really looks nice. All the details are there, just need to tighten up a few little details we discussed and your golden. You really don't relize how many little details there are to these things until you start breaking it down. If I was going to restore my car anytime soon I would be going crazy. I know that there are quite a few folks out there with cars just waiting to bolt them up. Thanks for all the hard work again!

I bought a real nice used hood for $900.00 (shipping inc.) and would have paid that or more for a repro.

I also saw the prototype fender at Winter Jam, and while it looked very professional, I thought the rolled edge around the wheel opening looked squarish instead of rounded. You can see it in this photo.

Not a criticism, but just wondering. And I'll be first in line for a set of the pan halves. My car should hold together until then!
