Jim,i've sourced all the parts I need right here in the UK with the exception of the Mustang II upper suspension arm,it's coming from Speedway in the States. (Just over a week through a vendor here)
I just timed it well for his next shipment.
In saying that,i've never waited more than a couple of weeks for parts...

I've also opted for a good original front fender in preference to a repop,everything else will be new so i'll finally get a splash apron and a chrome grill too.
Mind you,I can think of less painful ways! drive

The irony there is the front passenger fender that was on the truck when I got it was by far the best of all four....virtually NO rust repair and a couple of stress cracks on the fender lip and very few dents.
I think that's why the damage has been limited to just the corner as it was so solid to start with.

Thankfully most of these parts are fairly readily available here now.

The problem is my parts guy is still in California on a buying trip although he'll be back in Blighty in the next few days.
I originally bought my truck from him so he's cut me a great deal.
