I was thinking that the front arch is a similar profile ?
Also looked at VW campervan rear arches.
Any suggestions on what others have done. | | | | | Joined: Jul 2001 Posts: 3,887 Cruising in the Passing Lane | | Cruising in the Passing Lane Joined: Jul 2001 Posts: 3,887 | it's been discussed and cussed a lot here, that area is always rotten - no, there are no patches available and a front fender only gives a small amount requiring much slicing and dicing .... 55-66 stepside rear fenders will give you the main molded part around the wheel well, the rest will need to be hand formed from flat sheet

not much chance of finding them in the Uk.
Appreciate the heads up
