Junk red inner fender needed, or part of one

I am in need of a junk red inner fender. A part of one would be ok also. I would like at least a 1 foot square for testing reasons. A faded one would be ok also. I have what i thought was a junk one but the more I play with it the more I think I can restore it.

Let me know what you have.

So,you want to take a pair that I have that are pure white,turning to powder,and save them for me? You can experiment with them.The only direction to go is up.
Oh wait,they have PATINA.

Not sure I want to take on restoring a full set other than mine. I have experimented on some old honda red 3 wheeler fenders and found something that works great but I want to test in on a junk well before I do mine. I will likely have over 50 hours in my red inner fenders and my set are one of the nicest used sets I have seen to start with.

I know all about that.
That's what happens when you have to do every piece.
I could send one,and you could send it back,or whatever.

I have tried that and everything known to man on my not so good one. I may just end up using it to experiment with.


I really need a part of one that I can cut on.

Ladies straight razor. Shave a layer off?
Wet sand then buff with plastic polish,like the headlight kits?

I should have kept my mouth shut, lol. It wouldn't matter that much if i did say but it would be nearly impossible to explain by typing. The thing is, Most people would rather buy reproductions than to spend the enormous amount of hours it will take wet sanding (that is the first step)

I tried the headlight kit on part of my bad one. It don't do much till it is wet sanded for several hours. Even then it will not fix any of the white spots if there is any that bad.

I am going to play with a small spot on my bad one but still need something I can cut on.

Most people like to cut corners and choose the path of least resistance. Not this cat. I'm always interested in finding a better way.

Red wells

Eric, you can have this one, but I highly doubt any of it will survive rehab.
One touch and it turns to dust. I have another pair that is pretty nice, but it has a 4" hole in the bottom, firewall area. Would sell or trade those. Another set has some rips and needs some serious sanding. Let me know.

I hate to have the entire thing shipped. I really only need a chunk of one but hate to have you cut it up. Is the bottom side as bad as the top? not much you can do when they are that bad other than use them for testing.
