Has anyone used Wescott fiberglass rear 40/41fenders on their pickup? If so what was the quality & how was the fit ?

I've never used them, but a friend of mine used a set of front fenders and they were perfect fit and excellent quality. However that was over 10 years ago.

Karl Westcott makes quality products.

A friend of mine has them on his 40 coupe. Great fit with minimal sanding.

I'd ask the source, Karl... he's an ethical fellow. In my opinion, if he says they are a good fit, than you can rest assured - they are a good fit.

I put a set on my '39 pickup 28 years ago and the fit was perfect. A added plus is that they don't dent.

Thanks Mike

I am the wrong guy to ask though. Totally prejudiced. All I can say is we try to do the best we can, providing a good value for the price.

Have a set from Karl on my 41 pick up. That was over 30 years ago and the fit and finish was excellent.

I stopped by Wescotts shop today and got a tour of it from Karl. I can tell you firsthand that he goes to a lot of work to reinforce and brace all of his molds in the shop, whether it is a fender mold or a body mold. Whatever comes out of the mold, it will be consistently the proper shape when it comes out of the mold. It was obvious why they are the best in the fiberglass reproduction business.
