Here is a tip for you on the first gen cars like yours when looking for a used fender check the edge where it mounts to the upper body structure a real ford fender will have square raises on it down the side a Repop fender will usually be triangled. So buying a used fender could still get you some repop sheet metal.Bumpers and chrome parts are usually pretty good my 66 has alot of repop chrome on it due the fact I live in Michigan. The climate here seems to be harsh on chrome and my car is a driver but I do have Ford fenders on it the floors are repop and those had to me massaged no matter where I got them.
