    Steel Rear Fenders For '40 Chevy Sedan...

     



    ......I'm searching for steel rear fenders for my '40 Chevy Tudor Sedan and was wondering what fenders beside Chevy will fit? Will '40 Pontiac, Olds, or Buick also fit ? Will '39 or '41 Chevy, Olds, Buick, or Pontiac fit? Thanks.

    Thanks for your response, but yeah, I checked them out. They only have fiberglass fenders (as all of the other "manufacturers") and I'm wanting to replace my 'glass fenders with steel so I can contour them into the body and not have to worry about cracking at the fender/body interface.
    Original steel fenders are virtually impossible to find from my experience so far. I've spent at least a few hours on the internet calling all over the country and checking out every lead. I might have located a pair but I'm not sure of their condition. I hope I can use them because if I can't I'm not sure I'll ever find a set of original steel rear fenders. Thanks again though.

    Contact! Found some original rear fenders for a '40 Chevy sedan in my own home town, of all places! However, I'll still be searching for both front and rear spares in case anyone has any leads. Thanks again for your help.

    Yeah, I did the same this morning, Sunset. Found several listings for different mixes of fenders. I thought about saying something, but I figured eBay would have been one of the first places a guy looked, but maybe not.....

    I looked on Ebay several times but the only thing they had when I looked were fiberglass. I need original steel fenders. Were any of the ones you guys saw steel? If they were could someone provide a link? Sometimes I think I might not be looking in the right Ebay ads.
