: I'm considering buying a pair of steel front fenders for my A. Does anyone make a good steel repro that doesn't need a lot of re-working to make it fit right? I see that both Snyder's and Bratton's have them, but they tell you in the catalog that they need work where they meet the runningboard splash apron. Has anyone had any experience with these,or Gaslight's fenders? How about Rootlieb, are they making 30-31 fronts?Someone told me that there was another manufacture of fenders, I think they said Funks? Somewhere in Ohio? Help finding a good source would be appreciated.

***************************
My understanding is that there is ONLY ONE set of front fender dies and they are owned by Gaslight (I think) and manufacturered by Funks. All parts suppliers get them from them.I have seen them and they look pretty good except that they flare out a little and if you know they are very easy to spot.I'd personally rather keep looking and get a set of originals even if they need work. I bought sedan rears and they needed some hammer work, otherwize they were nice.
good luck
