Having had such luck so far.. I decided I would start emailing every seller that posted parts for FORD Woodie wagons on ebay.
And ask about rear fenders.
I actually found one person who claimed to have 3 sets of fenders
(none for sale) and another seller who simply replied with the following
"yes I have a pair for sale"
but provided no other information.
Several emails went unanswered, and given that he did not indicate his contact information I thought I was stuck..
(even consulting the NWC directory was of little use.)
BUT.... Then in a moment of wisdom I decided to Google his email address..
and alas.. i was pointed right back to a messageboard known as the HAMB..
Apparently the owner of the Woodie fenders had (back in 2004) placed an advertisement for Ford Rear Axle Parts on Hemmings.com,
A member of the HAMB had copied and pasted a number of advertisements into one of the threads.
along with the email address.. Was what turned out to be this gentleman's cell phone number..
As one might imagine, I was somewhat concerned about calling, but ultimately felt I had little to loose. Three rings was all it took.
Wanting to not seem overzealous, I asked questions about other parts first, and then questioned about the rear fenders I needed, the seller (possibly fishing for my ability to spend) asked where I got the car..
*note to self, sometimes be less honest.."
When I mentioned that the wood had come from Hershey this year, his response was..
S***, your the guy that got there before me!
(I was waiting in the sellers space at Hershey to buy the wood when they arrived) thanks again Bryan!
Luckily, after about a month and a half of emails, the exchange of some photos, and A large number of hard earned dollars, the fenders showed up in a big ugly box!
unwrapping the box I noticed that the fenders had been shipped to my seller.. from some one here in PA..
(guess who I am calling NEXT!)
