fender fun - why are fenders so cheap?

[centaurus3200]

i assume these are Chinese knock-offs? or are they real ford fenders? anybody have any experience with aftermarket finders like these?

Looks like a GenII fender, for sure.

Demand is high, or they're trying to clear stock. Either way that's definitely a good price. I just used up my spare fender on the Pumpkin and was going to snag another out of a j/y. These are cheap enough (depending on what they want for shipping) that it might be attractive to just get a couple of these.

I haven't had experience with this company, but when I worked at Ford dealership Body shop and customers or insurance requested aftermarket body parts to save $$, they almost never fit right and the quality just wasn't there. Now if you are lookin for some fenders, I have a '93 ATX parts car, black with pretty much rust free fenders (cause the car hasn't moved in over a year on pavement) that I'd sell to you for cheaper.

Here's some pics:

looks like the left one has a small dent

Ok thanks bud.

Installing a new rad support would require welding, no?
