New body old body fixup

[Tonyrodz]

Yeah, but much more expensive. I’m all about budget fixes, haha! I think just one fender is $400 for a Capa certified. I think I was looking at $2000 for 4 doors and the front 2 fenders. The auto body shop quoted me a ridiculous price of $7000 a couple of years ago.

I think I will have spent $500 (including the fender flares) after all is said and done.

$400 for 1 fender? Thaf's insane. That oem or aftermarket? I was thinking about a reg junkyard when I made that comment.

I believe it was from CarId or GMPartsDirect. Maybe it’s because it’s Capa certified? The junkyard is a great idea, but I didn’t even bother as it’s the rust belt and I just assumed they’d all be rusty. I should have looked though. Those prices you showed me are better! What website that from?

Oh...never mind...found your link!

Just looked at those and those are Capa certified as well! Wish I had seen those before doing all that grinding!

Thanks for the link!

Thanks for the link!

Glad I could help. Google is your friend.

Here’s the fenders I was looking at



I should have looked elsewhere. I see now that even on CarId they are about $240. Sometimes I like to do it the hard way I guess.

Those are oem, that's why the higher prices.

Glenn,
Are flood trucks something a guy needs to be on the look out for in TX? In the past they would be “repaired “ and find their way up North.

It can be if you buy a vehicle within six months of a major Hurricane season along the coast. Those type of issues usually show up on a car fax search though. I would stay away from them.

Thanks Glenn. You could have a part time job, bird dogging for us rust belt guys.
