United Pacific fender reviews
 

I am looking to purchase front fenders for my 32 Ford Sedan from United Pacific. I understand that they are made in Taiwan. Does anybody have any information on how much modification is needed on United Pacific fenders?

Ron,
I purchased rear fenders for my '32 pickup and the fit was perfect...no rat

tailing or swear words. The gauge is slightly less than Ford but super solid once installed.
My street rod bro in the finger lakes use UPC all the time and he is quite particular.

I have used a lot of United Pacific parts and if they are an indication of their quality the front fenders should work fine. I have also used 4 pairs of Brookville front fenders and all 4 pairs needed work to fit the frame and running boards. I would think the UP fenders would be of equal quality or better.

Very nice product. I did notice that the rolled over "lip" of the fender isn't quite as tight as Henry Ford original but for me that wasn't a big deal. Great and easy fit.

To add Krylon32's comments about Brookville fenders needing work to fit, their 32 front and rear fenders do not have rounded beads like original fenders. They have the appropriate bead rollers, so I do not understand why they can not make the beads correctly. If you get a set of fenders then it may not manner as much, but mixing an original pair with a Brookvile pair the difference stands out.

The U-P parts are Hit or miss, (Quality & fitment) most recent Tac strip, all the wood required hours of fitment , I try to source FoMoCo parts.There are close but differences.The Metal gauge is One size thinner then FoMoCo,
Between Two others & I working on 7 steel 32s. We have purchased every part U-P makes except fenders and running boards .Are the U-P fenders drilled?
Brookville are not , quite a bit of fitment required . I have seen three sets others I know have purchased, between 13 32s, same with at least with the Brookville roadster parks (fitment issues and differences) then FoMoCo
