A fender cover disappointment!
Well, I’ve been waiting for two and half weeks for these fender covers from Classic Parts
of Am. Finally got here today, the reason I wanted these was because they were listed as
being wider than the ones from the auto parts (NAPA) and should protect the fat fenders
on an AD from belt buckle rash.
The one from NAPA was nicely made, two layers of smooth vinyl with the edging sewn
up around the outsides and magnets sewn into the top flap that holds it to the fender, the
only problem with them was they were just to short.
The two that I got today from Classic Parts are really a disappointment, all they are is a
sheet of soft foam rubber with the GM logos silk-screened on them. Had I known that
was what they were going to be I simply would have ordered a full width sheet of extra
soft foam rubber from McMaster Carr and cut my own to what ever shape and size I
wanted.

these. If you think by the picture that your getting a high quality fender cover from the
vendor, at least this vendor, forget it, save your self a buck and buy some raw material
and roll your own, it’ll be just as good if not better.
