Has anyone ever made steel reproduction front fenders for 1932 Chevy cars?

A company called Experi-metal inc Located in Sterling Heights Mi. was making them and a lot of other 32 STEEL parts to include full bodies. I think when they closed a lot of the inventory was purchased by others to re-market them. I don't know how long they operated. I have their catalog dated SPRING 1989. It does have some nice illustrations .

Thanks Steve,
I have just acquired some fenders. They are in primer so I cant see the metal. Do you know of a feature that would distinguish the reproductions from originals?

No I don't. Perhaps others may but I think their reproduction parts were excellent copies of the originals.

I agree the reproductions were excellent copies. Probably better than many of the period production parts.
How Sweet the roar of a Chevy four!

They seem to be pretty lightweight. Thinner metal, perhaps? They are for sale. I have the front apron, as well.
