Topic: 1937 rear fender 4 door

  I'm repairing the running boards on my1937 ForDor. I'm currently fitting them to the car and noticed that the rear fenders have an amateur repair. Apparently, the section of each rear fender that mates to the running board had previously rotted away. Someone cut this away and just bent some sheet metal and bondo in place of it. It looks to me that the fender form fits to the running board. The rest of the fenders are in good shape. Does anyone make a patch panel for this? Are all the 37 rear fenders the same (2dr, 4dr etc?). Are there other years (38, 39) that use the same rear fender? I'd rather not use fiberglass. Thanks Mike

  I know they make lower patch panels for 35-36, so I would think they are also made for 37, or possibly the 35-36 would work for 37 as well, maybe with a little tweaking.

  There are four different rear fenders for 1937 Fords. Regular Tudors and Fordors use one design, Touring Sedans use one design, Coupes and Convertibles use one design and Station Wagons use another design. Be sure to get the fenders that are correct for your car.

  Thanks, John, where did you get them from?

  Thanks, what about different years? Would a 4dr fender from 38 or 39 fit on my 1937?

  I see that EMS offers such panels. They fit all Fords from 37 to 1940. They are $109 each. Looks like I'll have a nice winter project. Thanks Mike
