I sell fenders and it's a rough market. for good non cancer small dings type
fender I try to get $250 as a starting point. I just had a guy out here
today with a soda blaster that will do a fender or in my case several
fenders for
$50.00 ea so to make it worth my while I need to get $350 for a good soda
blasted fender that still needs minimal body work. and still get guys that
think $20.00 is to much for a fender come on guys give me a break
your going to put an average of 10-20k into a frame off resto and can't kick
with $250 for a fender.
any repro steel fenders are right at $500 a pop. as was mentioned there
are still $50 fenders out there but there few and far between if your
setting on a nest egg of them let me know?
I do give a break on a pair of fenders $400 a set and don't forget S&H.
I'D like to know if there is any demand and or desire for SODA blasted
fender/cabs/doors/etc
