That is correct. Ford originally used 020 gauge but it is thinner today, -and will even be thinner when it has been formed. Below is Ford's specifications.

Ive sold many nice fenders with no bead breaks for 150. apiece. not everyone is trying to get rich on selling parts.


Ive sold shot fenders for 40-50. apiece (what I consider patch fenders)- so they are def out there..........

When was that? I’ve not seen a decent 30-31 front go for under $400 in 10 years. And they get worse and worse and prices don’t change downward
I must be looking in all the wrong places!
