First make sure the curvature of the '49 fender is the same as the '51 at the front.Then make yourself a carboard or paper pattern of the holes in the '51 fender and transfer the holes to the '49 fender. Make sure the pattern used outer edge reference points. Measure twice and drill once.

Thanks a bunch trjford8 I be leave the curvature is the same but i looked today and notice there are no holes to mount the upper grill bar and the hole for the parking light is off also. I may just sell them or trade them for the 51 fenders.

As far as I can tell '49,'50 and '51 were all the same body with minor changes like park lights ,dash, and trim. Regards, Steve Lee

Steve there is a huge change in the front of these fenders from 49 to 51 the parking light hole 5 in higher on the fender and there are no holes for the upper grill bar the 51 fender has the holes for the upper grill bar and the parking light hole is at the bottom of the fender and these fenders are too nice to chop up going to try to add pic lol.

I'm convinced this 51 victoria i acquired 6 years ago has fenders from a 49 05 50. The holes for parking lights were modified to accept the 51 parking lights. Other than that everything else fits perfectly so except for the mounting holes the fenders are exactly the same.

yea there the same till you get to the lights lol now the 50 had the wrap around parking light just like the my 51 but the 49 had a small spear shape lights, with just two small screws holding them on as seen in the pic i could cut a hole in the bottom of them fenders and the top part of the 51 parking light might cover that hole because the 51 has a top pc attached to it and that is a sweet ride my friend
