    My restoration of my 78 golden eagle is nearly complete... Pretty much it just needs paint now. I've decided to replace the front fenders.. What are the best reproductions available?

    Watch the inner fender as 82 to 86 went to a cut out for the tall shock towers.

    I don't which ones are best but stay away from the King Cobra's that Crown Automotive sells. They are trash. I bought some for my CJ-6 project and one fender was an inch longer than the other and looked worse than the bent fenders I was planning on replacing. I've heard ok things about the Omix-Ada sheet metal but haven't used any personally yet. Nickmil.

    I want new ones... because of the way they are built where there is metal sandwhiched together for the side portion they are very prone to rusting... I'm putting a very expensive paint job on this jeep and would hate to have rust bubbles form after a year or two.
