I have to figure out what fiberglass fenders I am going to run...

I need some wider fenders, I think 2 inch wider will work.

I want to put older style fenders on my 1970

I've used several sets of CCC fenders, have always been completely satisfied with their quality and fit...so much so that I've never tried the others.

Yeah, but since you live in California the shipping from Kentucky will be more than from the other outfits, so maybe you should wait and see what people have to say about them.

Tip: for big bulky items like car fenders, the least expensive way to ship is usually by bus...if you've got a cohort at the point of origin who can take them to the terminal for you.

Good to know the $ isn't really a concern but I do love to save it! I would rather pay more then have to live with an ill fitting or crappy part. I don't know anyone around the Kentucky area though.

I'll wait to hear some more feed back. :)

CCC is the best, VWINNOVATIONS SUCKS!

He sent me a pair of speaker panels that were completely FLAT and wouldn't
replace them! And that was after waiting 2 months for him to *do another run* of them.

I am making my order tomorrow! :) Looks like I am doing 4 fenders pending the cost of shipping. :)

What do you guys think of the 39 Ford tear drop tail lights?

I got the fenders and Turbo tail in today.

Wow! is what I got to say about them. The quality is superb.

here are some large resolution images of what my car will sort of look like

Except my car is white, I plan to paint highlights blue, ie the part of the tail that is black on the Porsche picture, and a formula vee style stripe on the side, but keep the rest white. :)
maybe paint my roll cage blue, havent decided yet.

I got the frenched in tail lights, they are clear lensed with dual led, ie blinker and brake in one. the blinker flashes yellow brake red. :)
