Re: fiberglass fenders

alibaba is a website designed to connect Chinese manufacturers with American consumers ... just so ya know

here is a full list of available fiberglass parts for 67-72 Chevrolet Trucks - the prices are way out of sight, in my opinion

Re: fiberglass fenders

besides high prices those parts need a ton of work for a decent look on a street driven vehicle to get any type of decent fit and finish cost big dollars

Re: fiberglass fenders

Why are you interested in fiberglass, just curious. I can't imagine anything other than a full drag truck needing them. If it's for the truck in your avatar it looks good already.

yes, we know. what you still haven't shared with us is why.

if you have information that says one source offers better product than another then please share.

p.s. they are the same importers kid.

Re: fiberglass fenders

I would just do your best to get rid of any rust that it has already and make sure you keep it clean and off the beach. Are you thinking Cocoa / Satellite area?

Re: fiberglass fenders

Theres a place near Chicago that makes their own products. Glasstech or Glassteck. Something along those lines.

Re: fiberglass fenders

I just checked the Glasstek Fiberglass site and they only make parts for 73 and up trucks. Too bad because it is not too far from home. http://www.glasstek.com/

Re: fiberglass fenders

This is how it happens...this pisses me off! they obviously sit and watch what's going on in the U.S market and then jump in and try to take over with their substandard product, this is why the U.S and U.K don't have car industries anymore...a sweeping statement maybe, but I could care less.
American made, American made, American made, American made, American made.!!!!!!
