MN472...rest assured that if the fenders can be resurrected they do not get trashed. I am currently doing a resto for a fellow who has a guy that does "jam up" metal work but turn around time is a long wait. So, he is going with fiberglass in the short haul but will do the metal over time. His guy fixes the metal and not just gallons of bondo!!! But thanks for your input....as for MY case.... well, there wasn't one. I had to go glass!!!
