Just bought a new project car. I have the entire front clip bolted together. Off the car) Fenders & hood are NOS, primed but never painted, immaculate. GM stickers on them. All other front sheet metal is orignal GM, but used. What is this stuff worth? I want to sell to raise $ to buy all the other stuff I need for the build. Plan on using full goodmark front sheet metal. This is an LS1/pro touring style car so orignality is out the window. Also, im concerned about shipping. Dont want to risk damage. All input is welcome.

Some folks think that if the fenders have been primed it detracts from the value. I don't necessarily agree with that. That said, I believe the fenders are fetching around $1300 each and the cowl hood should get you another $600+.
Shipping is always an issue with sheet metal. I have several NOS pieces of large sheet metal and I refuse to ship them.
I wish I was close by. I would make you a good offer on that stuff!

Thanks for all the PM's guys. I have a pretty good idea now. Just need to decide what to do. Anyone interested who is close, I would be will to meet half way to avoid shipping.

My personal opinion is I would use the NOS fenders and avoid the headache of making the repo fit right.

I agree
Are you doing the body work yourself?
I bought a set of 69 RS front fenders. I wanted to convert my 69 over to a RS. What a joke. I could stick 2 fingers in some of the gaps!! It was easier to fab the plain jane 69 fenders to accomadate the headlight doors.
I have a set of frt 69 RS fenders for sale cheap!

The repo fenders really aren't that bad, just depends on your ability to fit them correctly. Of course they won't just fall onto the car and fit perfect, but it doesnt take major (subjective term, I know) work to get them to fit.
Dayton: all the repo fenders are made for RS, have to bend/remove the tabs for open headlights.
