    Hi all,
    I have been a long time lurker here at the forums and have finally joined. However, its for a not so good reason. Anyways, my 72 Comet was in a crash and the left inner fender apron is crunched pretty good. The auto body shop guy said he could try to pull it out, but a new one would be better to weld on. So does anyone know where I could get one of these? I've been looking and haven't had any luck. Thanks for the help

    I would think being in California, there would be plenty of rust-free donor cars in junkyards to get a fender apron.

    I'm not sure exactly where you are, but a quick search within 250 miles of Sacramento reveals the following:

    Not sure if the yards will allow grinding, but a cordless drill, a few batteries and a drill bit would get you the fender apron.

    There is a member here that has several parts, etc. You may want to contact him as well.

    Good Luck in your search!
