My Build — I found some fenders (and other parts)

I’ve located some fiberglass fenders along with a grille, a body, and a tail gate for $600.  While a decade old, these parts never been installed, drilled, or painted.  The seller says he bought these parts brand new and that they were designed for a street application, so they are a little heavier duty than the light racing bodies. That sounded fine to me, so sometime next week I’m gonna head to Oregon to check them out.  The one thing this package lacks is a hood.

These were actually for sale about a year and a half ago.  The craigslist ad had very little info and didn’t list any keywords, so it was a tough ad to find unless you specifically typed ‘flatfender’ into the search field. Also, it was winter time and, at least for me, getting over the snowy passes wasn’t worth the effort.  After being frustrated in my fender search (metal or fiberglass), Yesterday I decided to give him a call.  Sure enough, he still had everything sitting in his garage.

Because of this, I will continue to list expired Craigslists ads for a while since the sellers may not have been able to get rid of their jeep or parts, but got tired of relisting their stuff.  And, if I can get it, I’ll always list the seller’s contact info if they provide it.
