I am so thankful that my own stupidity did not hurt myself or anybody else. I made the mistake of working on my car for the past four months without checking the lugs on my wheels before hitting the road. I went a mile down the road and heard the clink of one unilug falling off. I was going maybe 30. I slowed her down to 5 and took a right hand turn to get off the highway. Bye Bye wheel. Wheel went off in a ditch. The car road well on the brake rotor to a stop. Again, nobody was hurt and really, the entire car fared well except the fender. I may post pictures if I can bear to go out to the garage to look at her.

The car looks great except the fender. So, needless to say, I need a new fender. I have a parts car with my folks several states away and plan to grab the two front fenders from them next weekend. They are not in the best shape and I think they need some metal work and welding to get them in a better condition. I started looking around on the internet for fiberglass fenders and they seem to be a very reasonable price. I figure I could cut out 100 lbs between a fiberglass bumper and fenders. What are your guy's thoughts?

Glad nothing really bad happened.

If fiberglass fenders are reasonably priced, it's usually a good sign that they are crap. What supplier?

If the car is a daily driver or sees pretty much only street duty you may be disappointed in glass anyway. Unless they are really good quality they won't hold up well.

I do have a parts car and saved the fenders. Interesting thoughts. I know very little about the upkeep of fiberglass. I figured if a corvette does it, why not?

A Vette's glass is almost if not 3 times thicker than most fiberglass parts.

Making your Chrysler stuff work will make you happier in the end

Anyone know where to get replacement wheel well trim? Google didn't turn up anything and I don't think it is salvageable.

You will spend some time but you can find it
