new pan is on, but looking for fenderwells

[bigbrownbird]

Hi guys! my bird is back together! I'm on the road again, I finally got the right pan after 3 times from summit (first one was warped, second was a truck pan) I just sprung for the milodon pan, works great, no leaks, and everything settled in nicely. Fired right up on the first crank, too. I was so dang happy, I took it out for a drive for an hour yesterday, no speedo and no hood. ICE IS FUN! Anyway, I was wondering if any of you guys knew if they make aluminum frontr inner fenderwells for our thunderbirds? Mine look yucky with the typical rust spots above the upper contreol arm. If they don't make aluminum ones, where's the best place to get repro ones? I'll call tbird sanctuary today.
One last thing, my Torq Thrusts are coming in this week. I can't wait to see what my bird looks like on 17s.

Have a good day guys!

Lee, All my research into inner fenders turned up no alternatives in either plastic or aluminum. I just kept looking through the yards until I found a fire-gutted 'Bird that had really good metal. 5.00 each. I love the U-Pull-It yards!
Never give up or lose hope. Charles
