1958-1962 Left side front fender or front end 58-62
Looking to purchase a left side (drivers side) front fender complete from headlights/lower valance up to drivers door, or maybe the left-side of a complete front end for a 1959 corvette, I would also consider a complete front end. Any leads or help would be much appreciated.If I cant find a GM fender, I know several vendors offer the fender or even the complete front ends, but I was hoping to place in an original fender. Please pm me with any info.Thanks!

1958-1961 are different than those used on 62. I have some NOS fenders upstairs in storage but I'll have to check what year they are. 62 cars were different in that they had a higher ridge that ran around the cove of the fender where 58-61 used the moldings. I don't know what year I have left over... and to be honest, one fell down from upstairs a few months ago... I believe it was from a 62. either way.. .best way to get hold of me is Service@Willcoxcorvette.com. Send me a message and I"ll check for you.
When you bought this item from GM they came with the upper top cap and the side lower assembled as on part with the bonding strip.... which ever year fell from upstairs didn't get damaged but the top split from the bottom... it was odd.. odd that it fell and odd that it didn't get damaged.
But I'll also say that Shermershiems makes by far, the best repro on the market that is actually press molded. I hate to mention names but the other company mentioned makes the same panels and they are injection molded and brittle. I've always used Shermershiems and while they take forever to receive the product is first class. I'll check on Monday and see what I have NOS if you are interested.

Okay... if you are interested... I have a NOS left upper fender, it's the one separated from the 62 lower fender. You can email me at the email above. I went to the shop today and found the one that fell from the floor.... I'm not sure and I'll still have to check Monday if I have a 58-61 fender assembly. I'm not sure.... but the service department is in a different building then what I went to today.
