FS !915-16 Left Front fender
I believe this is a 1915-16 right front fender (3 rivets) Has some rust through an the running board end, weld om the front tip & rust through the seam of the side & fender portions . Also there is some overall roughness to the finish, zoom in to see. $50 not sure about shipping this. Is in Coal Valley IL, just off I-80 in US Hwy 6 Also have an early 1915 right front fender posted https://mtfca.com/phpBB3/viewtopic.php? ... 31#p344331

The past is a great place and I don't want to erase it or to regret it, but I don't want to be its prisoner either.

Re: FS !915-16 Left Front fender
I restored two pair of three rivet 1915/'16 front fenders before I acquired my four rivet pair.
And, believe me, All four of those fenders I restored were in far worse condition than this one is! They are not near perfect, but now look fine from a few feet away.
I do admire and truly appreciate Rootlieb's reproduction fenders! They are very well made and look fantastic! Hundreds of beautiful model Ts are on the road today and looking great because of their assistance. However, for myself, I wanted hundred year old Ford steel on all my fenders if possible. To that end, marginal condition fenders became available at affordable prices for people like me! More than a little in part due to people replacing their marginal fenders with nicer Rootlieb fenders.
I can't be the only crazy one. Other people must want to just "know" their fenders are over a hundred years old under the paint. And yes, I did have to replace the bottom/back end few inches on most of mine.
