Here’s a different angle of my car. Tire is pretty close and the flare is minimal. You can also zoom in and see the existing holes for “some” emblem.

Additionally, the panel gaps on the door to fender are a bit wonky too which is making it seem more and more like the PO was trying to make this into some kinda super-hybrid Fairlady lol.

Oh and it’s negative ground.

The 65 did have a console. It was different from the 1600s. The radio console looked similar, but the shift plate had the ash tray at the back end of it. The armrest console did not have an ash tray, just a sloped front.

You have 1500 front fenders. The frame says that you have a 1600. You have a frankenstein car.

Ha! Yes, I am finding this out more and more. I’ll likely switch out at some point but I’ll keep them for now. I’m sure selling them might be a tall order, especially for shipping.

I might be interested in the driver's fender.

Cool. I’ll reach out when I get to that point. Gotta find some 66/67’s first.

I believe that Henry Kahn in Florida has some.

There are two people I know of in California who probably have many fenders to choose from, and both of them are named Mike.

Mike Young: 415-828-8778
Mike Kerr: 530-644-6777

They both might have early seats, too if you still want to try to find some.

You should check local first.

Thanks everyone for all the help and suggestions! I’m running down a few leads and possibly some road trips.
