That custom fender looks nice!
Maybe I missed it, did you ever get the fender from the guy who was taking his sweet time to ship it?

Thanks guys! I'm really happy the way the fender turned out. Still have a couple things to do to it, but atleast I finally got to see something accomplished. Like you spanks I was loosing motivation to work on it. Felt like it was never ending! Still feel like Im never gonna have the car back lol. The dick head never got back to me on the "fender" I sent money for. I, and a few people I know have called him to no answer. Also no reply's to email's. Ive given up hope, gonna dig out the other royal fender and start the same process..

The dick head never got back to me on the "fender" I sent money for. Sorry to hear that. In related "pay the money - no get part" news, I paid k-code "California Matt" a visit at his hair salon in Laguna Beach. He said that he'd send me my parts this year. So starting in January, maybe we can put both Matt and your friend in the "phase 2 plan". your friend in not giving up on paid-for parts, arthur

Arthur, you were in Laguna? I wish I would've known, we could have tried to meet up! It's not very often we get a lot of BluMo fans on the west coast!

That's great! I would have loved to see The look on his face. Country, that super sucks about loosing the cash on that deal. I can't believe the nerve of some people.

I would have loved to see The look on his face. Then you'll love phase #2, starting January 2013, pending receiving no parts. I'm considering it a practice run for helping out Country with his parts guy.

Hey arthur,
I do appreciate the offer to help!
I did a little investigating.... The guy has not cashed either the money order, or check that I have sent him. Although he has told me he received both.
Im not gonna play around with it. Im canceling both check, and money order, and gonna get my money back. No reason to persue it any more....
I dug my other passenger side royal fender out. It is junk. The bottom metal is just to thin. So I still need a passenger side fender.
Anyone have a rust free (as much as possible), solid passenger side fender for a 74-77 monaco? Either royal, or base fender will do. Just need something not rusted up. Appreciate any leads!!
Thanks guys! Will keep you informed.

Any leads mentioned so I can tell that this site car-part.com/ of junkyards etc. has Monaco fenders (as well as grilles & header panels) listed.

Thanks Sd.
I do like that site. It say's a couple yards have fenders... Ive used them before and every yard I called said they either don't have the fender, or it is just to damn expensive. Last yard I called off of there wanted $900 for the front fenders. I can't recall if that was shipped or not.. But as you can see from the poor car.. I don't have $900 just laying around lol
I still might try a few yards off of there though.

I'm going to the Turkey Rod Run car show tomorrow in Daytona, which has a HUGE swap meet area, and I'll look for a decent Blumo pass side fender for ya, Zac...I'll be fishing for parts for myself, too. If I happen to find one, I'll call you and let you know how much $$$ they are asking, to see if you want it. Rob
