FORUM RULES: Users agree to these Rules when using Forum.

The site administrator reserves the right to change the terms and conditions of the user agreement without prior notice to the user. It is the responsibility of the user to regularly review the terms of this agreement.

The user agrees to the following terms:

All information that you provide to us for your membership is correct.
You will not use your membership to spam, harrass, or exploit other members in any way.
Vulgar, Abusive, Racist and Sexist Language will not be tolerated.
Commercial-type sales postings will not be allowed.
No mass posting or flooding of the boards is allowed.
No Advertising of parts or cars; no Ebay or business/commercial ads (please use the "Classified" for ads Wanted or For Sale).
VIEWING MULTIPLE TOPICS ON SCREEN: You can choose to see more than 10 Topics at a time ... Log In and choose "Preferences" from the top bar on the Forum page. Scroll down and Change the "Default Topics Returned" parameter to 25 or 50, and save the changes. Since this setting is stored in your browser 'cookies' (if enabled), it seems to use that stored value even if you are not logged in. So, if you use a PC that you haven't logged into the forum from, the setting still seem to remain at the default.
EXTERNAL PHOTO LINKS ON FORUM: You can still use external photo links in your posts on the new forum. They follow the rules of any link in that they have to have the URL link qualified down to the full image file name (example: .jpg). The links will open in a new browser window, the same as an uploaded image attached to a post. Since an image attachment to any post does not display inline with the post, the results are the same. You can use multiple external links within a post. This link is from photos on a site from Don Clink's 'Deuce@75' albums:

Using links from photo sites such as Photobucket can help in "size" issue with uploaded attachment files. For best viewing in web browsers, photos should be around the 800x600 pixel range, and probably not more than 1024x768. Most cameras today store HUGE jpg image files, as the default settings are in the 7, 8, 10, and 12Mb image sizes. The image files that are then attached are very large, and the browser can't display the full image size without using the scroll bars. Use the re-sizing functions of your photo editing software to reduce the image to 800x600, which reduces the file sixe and the image load time in the browser. Don uses Google's free Picassa3 software, which is an excellent photo management product. All of the photo albums of the Deuce, Grand National, and Auburn that are links on the NORG site were built using Picassa's web creation functions. And it's free? (THANKS to Don Clink for the info!)

I wouldn't pay that much for a set. Offer him a more realistic price. Maybe think about putting an ad on Fordbarn. Check with Lloyd Tiffany who posted that he has a pair in this ad.

By the time you pay the shipping you would be in the glass ones almost $300.Did you make an offer on the steel ones? Maybe the seller might negotiate.

Surprisingly, these things occasionally pop-up on "our favorite auction site" for $100-$150. In my opinion, a price of $425 is definitely in a class by itself.

It also sounds high to me, but they are not reproduced and when is the last time you saw a set for sale? It all comes down to how bad you need them and if you need them now. If you bought your car years ago you probably bought it way below today's market value, so spending too much on fender panels is not going to make a difference at this point.
If you wait around you may find a set for $200 or so, but how long might you wait? If I had a car that was close to being finished and these were the key parts I needed to complete the job I would just step up and get them. Just make sure the seller is a legitimate person. Scammers roam these sites, especially thew want ads , so be wary of any ad from overseas or where the seller uses poor English in describing the part. You might ask for photos of the parts.

I found a set of 1935 inner Fender aprons, they are the later style louverd, they are in perfect condition, no rust or nothing cut off of them.
I was wondering what they are worth? Does anyone have an idea?
The person is asking $425
