Anyone else purchased a fender(s) from other than Goodmark? Thinner gauge? Fitment? If they didn't fit all that well, was it just mount holes not lining up?

Yes the fenders are for the 66. Originals were badly rusted but the Goodmark metal guage looks to be pretty reasonable. The new fenders don't seem to line up perfectly with the bolt holes on the inner fenders but the overall shape looks pretty good. The rad support/inner fenders/grille mounting panel have some rust/alignment issues right now so I can't be sure how much of a headache I'll have when I get to the fender stage.I didn't try to bolt them on but just did a quick visual inspection so far.Just finished both doors to epoxy primer and have rockers/cab corners/floor/floor supports next on the list.Once the cab is finished then I'll strip the front end off to repair the inner fenders etc.
Its starting to get cool up here now and I don't have heat in the garage yet so I'll be waiting for spring before much else gets done.
I really hate winter. :mad:
