Picking up a set of original front fenders tomorrow. Even though only 1 was damaged they were reproduction and I want original. Parts ordered to rebuild trans and I had a spare trans for the front bearing retainer. Rebuild spare clutch housing and got another flywheel housing. Was given another axle and radius arm. Doing all the work myself should leave me enough for a complete upholstery kit. So the plan is to have the car in much better condition than it was in

Good idea on the fenders. My car had two nos front fenders and the right was destroyed I looked for a non well but couldn't d find or afford at the time so did the steel repro and have never been happy with it I suppose I had better find an original now that I can find them and afford it. I saved the radiator shell but I wanted a better one so I bought a 31 slant project car that had a perfect shell on it l, put another on it and resold the car.
