Shot in the dark but I'm looking for L & R fender bottoms only (obviously can't be rotted, or at least not bad) for my Vista Cruiser Project. Cut at the bodyline below the emblem. So if you have at set of fenders(or even just one, because beggars can't be choosers) that are smashed or mangled or destroyed but are good at the bottom, and you thought you should throw them away, please sell them to me! Save a Vista Cruiser!

Thanks J, I did order these through opgi, not too bad, wheel well area is a little "generic", but what I really need are the inner structure behind the skin. My bottoms are completely gone!

Inner fender, eh? I have a few 80's inner fenders. I'd have to check if they're junk or not though.

If yours are not to badly rusted, i have have photos of the way I fixed mine. Here are some photos to show you. If interested I can send you more.

Thanks hamm, mine are pretty much gone. Take yours and times it by 4 all the way thru. No corner left, no inner structure left, no bottom where it bolts up left. If I could even find bottoms as good as yours, I would be interested. If someone has something, send me a pic and I'll determine if it's worth fixing to me...anything is better than what I have!

I've got some fenders that have the skin rusted through but I believe the support in the back is solid. I've got the driver side Vista trim on ebay and a pic of the fender with the trim on it. Check this out and let me know if I cut the bottom off this fender and another one in similar condition would that help you? John

It's too dark for pictures but I looked at my fenders and found a passengerside fender with dents and no rust through at the heel. I may have a drivers side I could cut up too but it will be the weekend before I can get some photos for you. John

John, yes I'd be interested in what you have if you can get inside and outside photos this weekend. The one on e-bay is so-so on the outside how about the inside. If you want to PM me the photos I'd be very thankful and possible price....thanks

I was just looking at that fender on evilbay and was about to tell you to ask John about it.

Hey John, ever find out if you lost those Vista Cruiser emblems? I see the outline from some on that fender.

2blu442

Bluevista, haven't come across the 71-72 emblems yet. But I'm pretty sure I have them..... somewhere.

I believe f-85 on this board has some N.o.s. ones for sale pretty cheap.
send him a PM.

Still looking for these also, 2blu442 maybe you?

Here's a passengerside that is just showing pinholes through the skin. There is rust on the support and without removing the skin I'm not sure these pictures help us see the condition well enough.

John, PM me, are you willing to cut the bottoms off. If so, how much and do you also have a driver side in similar condition? Thanks

ent72olds

I no longer need these as John (2blu442) has come through! (hey, that rhymes!) Thank you!

John is a great help to the Olds community.
