My '59 BN4 had fiberglass fenders. They fit fine and looked good. However,
because of the thickness of the fiberglass, about 1/4" had been taken off the
edges of the hinge pillars where the back of the front fenders attached and
along the edges of the shut faces where the front of the rear fenders
attached. When I restored the car I replaced most of the underlying sheet
metal including the shut faces and hinge pillars. I didn't want to cut those
up so went with new steel fenders which didn't fit as well as the fiberglass
ones without some surgery. I didn't have to mess with the underlying sheet
metal.
