I really didn't need this to happen! Poor fender

[NeedaCobra]

I was in the garage working on the fuel cell, so I walked around the car to get a tool that I needed, so I walked over the front clip (it's sitting beside the car, sorta), anyway, I tripped on something and landed on the left fender (which was still attached to the front clip). I jumped up and looked, and the fender was bent, it chipped the paint where it bent, and the bottom of the fender got all scratched up

. I'll get some pictures in a few hours. How much do you think it'll cost to repaint the fender

:cryying:

100.00 bucks max

that's good to hear, I don't think it'll be hard to match as it was painted a production color (it used to be silver)

 

[NeedaCobra]

and to make matters worse, I was removing the fuel lines and old fuel filter, and I spilt fuel all over my jacket, arm and face, and then later on, after the fender incident, I noticed my knee was hurting a little, and I looked and it has a big cut/scratch and it's bleeding!
Bad day

It'll all be worth it though when I crank the engine for the first time :burnout:

 

[SVTHorsnake]

if that's the first thing that's gone wrong in your build, WOW

Stop running the engine with the garage doors closed, Jonathon. Seriously, straighten up your work area as much as possible. Good luck with the fender repairs.

I need to stop doing this kindof stuff, 'cause now I want to replace it w/ a fiberglass fender, then I'd have to replace the other one w/ a fiberglass fender :lol1:

Hahaha, sounds like me man, everytime something gets screwed up I find a way to improve upon it. haha:beer: :rockon:

 

[NeedaCobra]

yeah, but I think this time I'll be able to restrain myself, as I have a long list of stuff to get done

Hey, isn't there a MFG that makes a fiberglass shell for the front end of the 80's/90's mustangs? I could have sworn I saw a single piece unit once, which included front fascia and front quarterpanels.:shrug:

 

[NeedaCobra]

PlatinumCobra, stop giving me ideas :lol:

I've seen them for 60s Mustang, but I'm not sure on the 90s ones

 

[SVT4ME]

Minor stuff what till the big stuff comes

 

[NeedaCobra]

So, since the car has already been painted over once, shoudn't I sand down the fender to the metal, and then have them prime/paint it?

Ahhhh....

I didn't see it anywher, were you talking about one of those "clips" that flips up, like on a Vette or something?

I was referring to a single piece bumper cover and fender set, but alas, it is not on the site. I've seen a couple of classifieds on the web selling their fiberglass fenders. Maybe they don't even make these anymore. :shrug:

Here's a set of fenders a place in CA is selling:

They are made by the same mfg but not listed on the site. :??:

Hmmm, first time I have heard of Fiberglass fenders for the 5.0 that bolt up to the factory steel front clip. But I haven't been into the Mustang Racing crowd for a while. Looks like I might have to invest. Maybe. Thanx PlatinumCobra!
