Looking for a fender
I am posting here looking for local knowledge of people over in the USA (I live in England). Although I normally can find parts for vehicles I have, I am really struggling to find a front drivers fender for a 68 Ford Torino I bought last year, which I would have thought not a problem to find......Does anyone here know of one being broken/a breakers I could try that might have one of these? I keep checking ebay etc, have looked on Craigslist but to date not found one other than needed quite big repair so not worthwile. The fender on mine could be repaired but has a hole in the top of it, by the time it is repaired would need the complete top replacing. Patch panels are available for behind the wheel etc but not the top as it is not normally where they need repairing, it seems the building where the car was stored over 40 years had a hole in the roof above the fender on my car......I joined a couple of Ford forums and posted on these but nobody has come back with anything yet, plus, as a complement to people here, they don't seem as interested/enthusiastic......I have always found people here helpful and am trying to tap into local knowledge as if I can't find something in an advert, I am too far away to come searching. They do not reproduce a fender for this car either, yet.
I am sure a fender for one of these cars cannot be too difficult to find, they made enough of the cars? So, I would be grateful if anybody could please inform me where they might have seen a 68 Torino being broken, or where might be a likely place I could try. If I obtain one, it will likely ship out of Florida so near there would be good if possible, or failing that, vehicles ship out of California to England so there would be good also.
Thanks, Paul.
