On the other hand, it can be worth it to find a good used fender and pay more than you would for a new one because of the time involved in making the new one fit.
Yeh the hooks were USED! I can see on metal, I found and paid top dollar for NOS Short box sides this spring along with a right front fender the guy had sitting Eben though I didn't need it. My build is 100% NOS sheet metal besides the left front fender and it was perfect with zero rust or dents. When we media blasted both front fenders they were perfect. Left had some holes drilled from a previous debt removed. Other than that it was perfect.
