weak upper portion of fenders

when i pull mine to prep for painting (what ever color) i am going to put the "rust bullit" and fiberglass mesh cloth under mine. that is what i used inside my quarter panal repair..frank...

 

Yep..repop fenders will do that. I have one on the driver's side of my Mav and it does the same thing. Passenger side is original and many, many times tougher to get it to bend even a little. I wish I would have gotten an NOS one before had my car painted. It doesn't take much to pop it in, no matter how careful I am...

 

Man...learned two things yesterday on here and now this. I never knew there was a repop Mav fender either. When is it gonna stop???:confused:

 

Ok guys, now that I know what's going on, it's only the passenger fender that's weak, so I guess repop? I do not like that so I will try and find a decent original one. Was just at the boneyard yesterday and did not even bother to look at fenders. Was on a door hunt. I'll be looking for an original pass side fender now.

 

My pass side is flimsy. I havent painted yet.
Good point out!

 

richard what are you doing sitting or leaning on your fenders in the first place what you gonna do when you get a newer car! talk about recycled metal

 

No, it was simply sitting in the engine bay... you know how you get tired of bending over... I am 6'4" remember, so thosse fender come in handy for resting the elbows on when working on engine you know.

 

ah yes... i myself jack up the car... bad back and all i bring the car to my lvl i'ts really bad with a lowered car!

 

i hear that, just changing the spark plugs leaves me with a sore back. good thing our cars are reliable.
