Looking for a dented, bent, or rusty fender that has some fender lip area remaining. I don't need the whole fender, just a section as show in the picture. At this time, I'm not thinking it will matter if its left or right as I'm only using sections from this. This piece doesn't even have to be perfectly straight, but does need to be mostly intact in the designated area. If you have an old, fragged, rusty, or beat up fender you are going to throw away, I'll throw a few buck your way to cut out a piece and send it to me. PM me here if you have something that might work for this.

Thanks!

Does it need to be a Challenger or could it be from a Barracuda? I have a driver side 70 fender that the topside got bashed in. Not sure if you're still in the Rocky mountains or not, I'm in Denver.

Hmmm, maybe. Let me check the profile of the lip compared to the front.

Thanks a bunch, but unfortunately a Cuda fender won't work. It needs to have the same character lines as the Challenger lip which has an extra roll in it compared to the Plymouth version.

I need the profiles to match because I'm going to cut some small wedges and graft these in to create a subtle flair under the body line.  Is going to be a bit tricky to pull off, but I'm going to give it a try while I've got the fenders off for repairs and paint prep.

Reno Nevada Craigslist has right side fender 100 or best offer.Area you need looks good

Looks like a quarter panel section would work for this because the profiles appear similar. However, before you jump into cutting that out, I'm working with someone somewhat close to me who might have a fender they have already cut up. Let me see how that works out and I'll get back to you.

@HP2  I have a fender you can have. I'm in Idaho. Where are you?

Mopar Mark is in Grand Junction and has several challenger parts for sale.
I recall a few fenders. 

Not sure if he is on here. If you don't turn up with the local one I'm sure I can find Mark around the forums.

How soon are you going to need this. It sounds like you are in Colorado somewhere. I will be going to Denver probably in March and could bring it with me. Let me know.

Yea, I think he posts on Moparts pretty regularly, so I could got bug him there. I'd like to see him get his website up and running. While his old one was basic, it was functional. His new one is neither.

I'm in Colo Spgs. I really appreciate the offer, but I'm working on a pretty good deal for some out pieces of New Mexico that I should be able to get here in another week or so. I've started stripping the fenders so am hoping to get started by the end of the month.

Thanks guys!

He regularly posts ads on Craigslist in the Auto parts section and it sounds like he's going to be in Denver somewhere around February 7th through the 9th for the swap meet (I didn't realize it was here during my birthday, something for me to check out)

That swap meet might be worth checking out.
Had not thought about it for some time.
Where is it located in Denver?

Got some pieces on the way, so this is resolved.

I haven't been to the Tri-state swap in years. I used to sell up there in the 00's when I had access to a reasonably priced parts supply. Once they shut me down, I kind of lost interest and haven't needed much in the way of parts since then.
