Quiz: How many fenders to make one good one? In this case two. In the top photo you can see where the rust was cut away from my original date coded fender. Then my painter took a wrecked fender as a donor, butt jointed the two and wahoo - you can see the results above! I was a little worried at first, but my painter said he has seen much worse and this was a fairly simple fix. It is curious to note that the date codes between the drivers and passenger side fenders are three days apart. Maybe FoMoCo took off early for the weekend before stamping the next one? I guess it's not that unusual and I'm glad we didn't go with any aftermarket fenders. There's still a lot of fit and finish, but the mustang is coming along nicely - at least it's looking like a car again!
