Got a chance to get a 1968 Plymouth Fury III 2dr ht farly cheap but its got front end damage on the pass side.
I've been looking for repops for the sheet metal but can't find any i called the local guys here and no one has one to part out either .
you guys know of a place that makes them or a good place to go and ask around.

Probably going to be hard to find, Tree. But I sure wouldn't let that stand in the way of getting it!!!! One of my favorite years, what engine/trans does it have????? Got to be some around, just going to take some digging.....

Tommy there's lots of repop stuff out there for A, B, and E bodies but not much for those bigger C bodies except for smaller parts like dome lights, door handles and stuff like that that were used across the model lines and years as well as most of the drive train items. Just keep an eye on the yards, craigslist, ebay, and so on. In time almost everything shows up somewhere.

I should get it but, I don't want to sit on it.
Looks great , all I’d have to do on the inside is clean it !
All I know about the motor is it might be a 318, didn't get a good look didn't want to act too interested ... looked like an automatic so I don't think I’m getting the 440/4 speed but that’s ok , it looks really cool and thats what matters .

Never know ... I may get it ... just got to wait and see what happens since I know it'll be hard to get parts for I can take my time and let him try to get his price then if it doesn't sell I'll give him another call .
Was hoping there was a place to just buy the stuff .
Don't have time to hang out at the junk yards any more....

this was stored next to the VW bus I just got and looks in better condition other then the frontend . I did crawl under before I left to make sure the frame "looked " straight .

I got to go pick up a 40model chevy soon and I'm thinking its going to take up most of my time and funds for a while. so I hate to start making another big pile of "future projects" ... since i'm gradualy culling what I have now .

Sure do wish it was closer..... If you passed on it, I'd probably be all over it!!!! Love those mid 60's Mopars!!!!! At $4.00 a gallon for diesel if he was giving it away I'd still have too much in it by the time I got it home!!!!!!

Thanks BBB
I'll keep looking.
I've got a lot of things going right now or I'd just pick it up and sit on it till I ran across something that'd work .
If it had looked like the Super Commando or hemi I would have brought it home and went back for the bus ...
