Me too. I've got a re-pop fender and it sucks.
There's a guy out in Oakdale, Harry Pulliam, that owns a Mustang junkyard. It's all '65-'73 cars and when I was there many years ago, he had LOTS of rare and hard to find parts. I'm certain he has a fender if you can't find one anywhere else.

i rebuild all the upper and lower control arms added a huge front sway bar, grab a track 620 coils with adjustable drag shocks & roller spring perches Also running the borgenson steering box conversion and subframe connectors...
Car handles great compare to when i got it.. and the steering is very tight on the freeway..

Nice I still got leaf springs I can't get on it on th freeway it starts to go sideways. If you don't want to say pm me how much and where you got it from. I don't trust this suspension lol.

He's a cool dude. Last time I was there, he showed me EVERYTHING he had. Some pretty awesome cars. He used to have a twin Cleveland powered drag car. The sad thing is, he'll probably never do anthing with 90% of the stuff he has.
