Would you by chance have the lower fender braces both sides for the 75 chevelle? Needing a pair if you had them.
Thanks

Greyhound will ship these fairly reasonable the Head light Buckets can go Fed Ex Flat rate box but fenders would be best sent Greyhound

Re: 75 front fenders and dual headlamp buckets
Although Greyhound is cheaper on large items, be prepared for the b.s. that goes along with it. I shipped half a rear floor pan (the half that goes under the rear seat) to a guy in Kissimmee, FL last Oct. Unless I wanted to drive 25 miles one way to an inner city bus terminal (downtown Mpls.), I had to stand around the local metro bus station that handled route stops by Greyhound with that large box (oh yeah...you now have to box things) and personally load it on the bus...IF the driver deemed there was going to be room for it. If not, you go back to the office (when it's open) and get a new shipping label and hope for the next day's bus. You see...bus riders' luggage is given priority over your freight. After hanging around the bus station for an extra 45 mins due to the bus being late, I was fortunate there was room on this bus...but, it was explained to me that it could get bumped at any number of stops between here and FL. and I was told it could be anywhere from 1-3 wks to get there. Now here was the fun part...the package made it to Kissimmee in about 10 days or so, but, like the local metro station here in MN, their local station's office was only open from like 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. and, since the bus came through after hours, there was nobody there to unload it. So, it went on down to it's next stop in Miami. Came back from Miami to Kissimmee only to arrive after hours...and now was sent to next closest full-service terminal in Orlando. Someone there said "nope, this goes to Kissimmee" and back it went..only to repeat the same scenario where it went on down to Miami. Finally, the package came back through Kissimmee and on to Orlando a second time where someone finally figured they should call my guy in Kissimmee and let him know it's there. He wasn't thrilled about driving another 20 miles or so, but at least we knew where it was. What I got from my various conversations trying to track this was that freight business isn't really a priority with these people. Their tracking procedures are archaic and you cross your fingers and hope it doesn't get lost somewhere. Oh...and, it cost about $88 to ship via Greyhound vs. about $120 to ship via FedEx Ground. So, good luck with that!!

Re: 75 front fenders and dual headlamp buckets
LOL...there was more to this story. The guy brought this '76 Regal from his home in Puerto Rico where I presume the moisture ate away at the sheet metal. He's replacing virtually everything on it. I happened to have panels from a TX car that was brought up here and scrapped. Anyway, he was/is currently stationed in Afghanistan and had me ship to his body man doing the work. Gave me that guy's phone number as a contact for the bus company. Bus company calls him and the phone is disconnected. They call me and I have to e-mail the guy in Afghanistan and he gives me his mom's phone number. Bus company guy calls his mom and she only speaks Spanish and, since he didn't, they couldn't communicate. Bus company guy calls me again to explain. Another e-mail to guy in Afghanistan and he contacts his mom direct. She has to ask a friend who has a SUV to drive her to the bus station in Orlando to get the panel. Let's just say she apparently wasn't happy. Classic cluster-f**k! But...he did save $32 on shipping!

Re: 75 front fenders and dual headlamp buckets
Try U ship for large parts if you aren't in a hurry someone on there will usually help you out cheap. I had cuda fenders sent to me by greyhound once..had to drive 30 miles to pick em up..got there they only had the one..had to go back a different time to get the other one when it showed up..it was cheap but kind of a hassle.blah blah blah.

Need fenders in Chicago
I know this is going to sound stupid but does anyone have nice fenders in Illinois? Shipping is a real pain. It seems there are alot in the western and southern states but wish there was an easier way to get them to us who need them. Greyhound I had a real bad experience with. If anyone is in Illinois let me know.

I'd be glad to take them off your hands, what part of KS are in? Assuming you still have them!

Re: 75 front fenders and dual headlamp buckets
If anyone is looking for rust-free fenders/doors, just wanted to share that there is an AZ '75 Monte Carlo and El Camino sitting in a yard here in the Mpls., MN area. Monte still has LH fender & both doors, qtrs, hood...all excellent. El Camino is complete; although looked like there were some dings/creases in the doors that would require some minor body work.
This isn't a Pick 'N Pull, so don't expect bargain basement prices. Be glad to check on anything if someone is interested. They do ship, by the way.

Re: 75 front fenders and dual headlamp buckets
I'd have to check. I know the El Camino is still there...just can't remember if the fenders were picked.
Monte is still there, also. Doors/hood/fenders are gone.
