I am seeking assistance in locating a replacement panel for the driver side fender a 1968 Dodge Dart.

Attached is an image of the area that needs to be replaced due to rust.

I have not seen anyone selling just that section.

You could just find another A-Body fender that may be damaged, but doesn't have rust in that area and cut the part you need off and weld it onto yours. Someone with good welding and metal finishing sills could do it and make the repair invisible.

Yeah every junk fender I have found for sale is atleast $150. I probably should have just purchased new fenders from AMD...

If the rest of the fender is still good, you could just repair the 3" section that is bad. A short piece wouldn't be hard to reproduce and weld into place. Gene

I agree that's an easy patch.

Agree. Its that's the only issues it would be a no brainer for me to make a path to fix it.

I have a wrecked 68 fender in Rockford that I believe that area is good, PM me if interested. wave I see that the passenger side fender you picture above is a replacement, is the drivers side also a replacement? That area is slightly different.

The funny thing about science is that if you change one miniscule parameter you change the entire outcome to the way you want it.
