Fenders
I'm in need of a new fender and was wondering what would be best to do.. The one I currently have is really beat up and would need a lot of work to fix. I was looking into buying a repo (not ford tooling) from mustang plus but has anyone had any issues with those?

I have reproduction fenders on mine and they are pieces of crap. The body lines are noticeably off. Anything you can do to stay with original sheet metal will come out cheaper and better looking in the long run.

Going through this issue myself bought a replacement aftermarket driveside front and the headlight bucket and other lines wouldnt adjust right. Took some reference point measurements and the fender is a 1/4" wider than the original. So ill be either cutting it down and re-welding back together or find a original and use this pos to patch any rust.

Stick with the original, the re-pops are VERY THIN and fit horribly!!!!
The only re-pops I would ever suggest are the front and rear valences due to the fact they do not conflict with major body lines

I assume you are asking about fenders for a 66 due to your user ID, but my 70 repro fenders actually fit pretty well. A little massaging with a framing hammer and 2x6 was all it took to get them close enough for my pre-bodywork fitting. Looked like the body lines will be fine. Only thing I had to cut and weld was the spot by the windshield trim on the right fender.
