jacob Posted December 17, 2011 Posted December 17, 2011 Where do you buy 1972 monte carlo fenders I looked at opgi's catalog but there was only quarter panels and inner fenders. I dont need theem now but in a year or two I might need them. jacob Quote
Sam (Bones) Posted December 17, 2011 Posted December 17, 2011 start looking now, hard to find and very pricey, you might be better off repairing yours Quote
bigtankjones Posted December 17, 2011 Posted December 17, 2011 There are lower fender patch panels for the area behind the wheel well. Thats about it. Fenders are out there. Ditto to what Sam said. $$$$$$$ Quote
Canuck Posted December 17, 2011 Posted December 17, 2011 No reproduction fenders are made. If you buy a Monte with fenders that are beyond repair, don't be surprised to spend $1,000+ to find a pair of decent used fenders and even those may still need some body work. You are better off buying a car that has good fenders in most cases. Quote
cny first gen 71 Posted December 17, 2011 Posted December 17, 2011 We found a set at the eastren meet last summer Mike G bought the pair for 900. they were nos fenders too. great deal I was going to buy them but had no way to get them home as I drove my monte to the meet and it was packed to the roof.

jacob Posted December 17, 2011 Author Posted December 17, 2011 Well the car I am looking at has a good body or as far as I know right now. So far I dont think I Will need to get new fenders any time soon. If and when I need them I will really crack down on it. Quote
cbolt Posted December 22, 2011 Posted December 22, 2011 Doesn't Leo do fenders? Someone chime in here but I thought he did and my plans are to get both of mine from Leo when I do my paint and body again.... Quote
cbolt Posted December 22, 2011 Posted December 22, 2011 There are lower fender patch panels for the area behind the wheel well. Thats about it. Fenders are out there. Ditto to what Sam said. $$$$$$$ The patch panels are terrible. That is what I did and would never ever ever never do that again. Worst part of my car if you ask me. Quote
cny first gen 71 Posted December 22, 2011 Posted December 22, 2011 Leo has most anything and everything you'll ever need but it dosent hurt to look around ya never know when a deal will come along. Quote
jacob Posted December 23, 2011 Author Posted December 23, 2011 Why were the patch panels so bad and whos Leo ? Also I will be at the upcoming eastern met so I will get my dad to bring the truck. Hope fully I will come home with parts or a car. Quote
70mcarlo Posted December 23, 2011 Posted December 23, 2011 Jacob - Leo is Leo Konik of Konik's Klassics. He knows all there is to know about FGMCs. Just click on the "Parts and Services" link at the top of the FGMCC forum page and you'll find another link to Leo's website. Quote
cbolt Posted December 23, 2011 Posted December 23, 2011 The contours on the patch panels are not even close to the actual fender contours so you will need to do a lot of "massaging" to get them to line up with the doors and all your trim. Quote
Sam (Bones) Posted December 23, 2011 Posted December 23, 2011 you should be able to find someone at a local bodyshop to do the repairs too Quote

Not sure what make you used but the ones that I got from Leo fit great!! Quote
DRDIRT11 Posted December 23, 2011 Posted December 23, 2011 i got mine from leo also and had good results. Quote
cbolt Posted December 23, 2011 Posted December 23, 2011 i got mine from leo also and had good results. "Leo" being the common theme here. I didn't know about Leo when I did mine so...... they fit not great. Quote
bigtankjones Posted December 23, 2011 Posted December 23, 2011 WOW!! Those look good Bob. I am going to use the patch panels on my fenders I pulled of that parts car. I dont see anything wrong with fit in those pictures. Quote
looter Posted December 24, 2011 Posted December 24, 2011 for some reason my computer doesn't like Leo's site. anybody know what those fender patch panels run for price? Quote
bigtankjones Posted December 24, 2011 Posted December 24, 2011 Shermans Auto Parts sells them for 70 bucks ea. Leo is a distributor for them. www.shermanparts.com Quote
Sam (Bones) Posted December 24, 2011 Posted December 24, 2011 those one that Leo "had" are different than the aftermarket ones, someone here made a bunch of them and Leo bought/sold them Quote
looter Posted December 24, 2011 Posted December 24, 2011 So he's not selling them anymore? I've seen them from $60 to $100 each... I'm not worried about the price so much as the quality Quote

I dont need theem now but in a year or two I might need them. jacob How bad are your fenders? I was just in NC today buying a bunch of parts. If only rust at bottom fix them, if not I have some in the $50-100 range. Quote
Slaman Posted December 24, 2011 Posted December 24, 2011 I bought a fender patch from Leo about a yar ago and he still had them. Not sure who he gets them from but I thought that fit pretty good. Quote
