Too Many Projects

I don't have a thread on my '70 Chevelle, so I'll throw this on here. I had arranged to buy some sheet metal from a guy in SC last December. He didn't want to ship and I asked if he could wait until this past week for me to grab them on my way home from FL. He agreed and they were there waiting fro me on Thursday morning. He bought these in 1990, thinking he would need them to restore his '70 SS that he had since 1973. He had his restored sometime in the early 2000's and didn't need the metal, but hung onto it until now. Fenders have never been out of the cartons and we took the quarter out for the first time, just to look at it...:smile:
Shortly after he bought these in NY, he moved to AZ for 25 years. There is NO hint of storage rust on them at all !!

I cut a window in the carton to get this pic of the sticker on the fender.

I can't see a sticker on the RH fender. It may have dried out and fallen off. Too dark to look for old glue, but it's never been opened. I can see there are some dents in this fender, but that's what PDR is for...:biggthumpup:
