Looking for a solid drivers side welled front fender.

Tried to buy new but appears everyone is out of stock.

Hot ground strap
The ground strap from my positive battery terminal to the frame is getting seriously hot. Any ideas as to what would cause that ? The connection appears to be tight at the battery and at the frame.
