I'm looking for a drivers side front fender the bottom of mine at the black trim piece (between the wheel and door) is damaged the rest of the fender and trim is nice and rust free . . Bought the car like this and my options are to repair and weld in a piece of that section and find the bottom trim piece or find a replacement fender ideally in beige (gold) met 33/wa5322 Thank you !

I checked on the JY car, and the fender has a fair sized dent in it.

Thank you ! Went to look at the fender again this morning before the snow hit the damage is at the very bottom like someone drove over a cement parking barrier the black trim piece is missing but I located one and it's on it's way . The fender liner will need to be replaced but I know they make repops and who knows maybe I can locate some NOS parts . Called my body man and he said if the fender is really nice which it is other than the bottom damage he should be able to pull it out and fix it worse case scenario cut the piece out and replace it less expensive than replacing the fender and worrying about a color match .

There are no repops of the inner fender (wheelhouse). If he can fix the fender, he can fix the wheelhouse.

the front fenders are reproduced too, but for a chevy so will be lacking the tits for the moulding.

So I'll be repairing the fender but my issue is the inner fender / wheelhouse when it was damaged someone folded it up like a piece of paper and hammered it flat into the back of the inner fender it's not repairable / not worth the trouble . With that said I'm on the hunt for a rust free drivers side inner fender I've reached out to some vendors with no luck . I thought I read somewhere where they were repopped but as Fred informed me no one does this . I'll be detailing my engine compartment and one of the things on my list was this replacement and have both powder coated it has to be for a wagon or a Caprice as the sedans won't work .If someone has a set I would consider purchasing both .Thank you!
