Here in the mid-west (St. Louis area) good used 69 Firebird parts are almost impossible to find. Finding used fenders in better shape rank up there with spotting Big Foot. I bought a 69 Firebird convertible in 1974 and the front fenders were already rusted through back then. Used ones I find on-line sometimes cost more than the reproductions and still need work. Time to find an Old School auto body guy that can perform miracles on mine.
