Skip,

When shopping for fenders, it's important to consider the build date of the 
car.  See, they changed the physical size of the headlight bucket, nominally 
with car #2729 but I wouldn't be surprised to see a few after that with the 
early size.  Well, come to think of it, the Ford parts book lists the cars 
built after 2729 that used the early fenders:

2750, 2751, 2752, and 2783.

They also list the early cars that used the later fenders:

2633, 2720, 2722, 2726.

Your car is 5244, right?  So make sure you buy a late-style fender.  You can 
call the vendors and see what they have in the way of used fenders.  FWIW I 
know that Larry Stock has some NOS right-hand fenders (or he did, they might 
have been sold by now) but he probably wants new prices for them--they were 
NOS pieces after all.

Also, see my earlier post tonight--Wally Baldyga would be a good source for 
used sheetmetal...
