Looking for any feedback. I sent PP an e-mail asking about the fender and they say its complete (no bracing swap needed) and the sheetmetal is the same thickness. Any comments?

The current run of '69 fenders are advertised as being better quality than those previously available. One of the techs at Ames told me that in his opinion, they fit as poorly as those that have been on the market for many years.

Based on what I see and hear, I don't think I'd buy anything that I didn't know for sure about the quality on. Some things you can tell, but other things are a shot in the dark. If I was at their front door and could see one of the judgement parts, I might still not buy it.

If anyone wants to see how these really fit, please email me for pictures showing the car completed with repo fenders, hood, core support etc.

I'm guessing that means good. If that's the case, I would buy them from Performance Years or Year One - I would never buy anything from The Parts Place again - but that's just me.
