They are the 63 fenders that came with my wagon.
At first I thought they were junk because I could see bondo in them and really thick paint so I figured they were full of bondo.
In the mean time I came across a parts car with a really nice front end, only thing is that it's a 65.
So I am building a 63 wagon with a 65 front end.
So today I was thinking I should scrap the "junk " fenders but when I picked them up, i got really curious as to how junk are they...... really.
So I figured there is only one true way to find out.
I found four coats of paint, I found a coat of blue that I absolutely never saw before. I didn't find much bondo but the bondo I did find seems to have been applied tastefully and correctly. There is a little bit of rot on the driver side behind where the moulding was.
So now I am glad I checked, I am calling them workable fenders.
So now I am going to completely strip and primer them and hang them from the ceiling in my barn in case I ever need them.
Never know, I might buy another early A that might need fenders.
As for the wagon, I am keeping the 65 front end on it and installing the 65 interior to include bucket seats and make a barrawagon
