Most of the Pantera vendors have both new and used sheetmetal available.   
Wilkinson, I believe, has 'modular' fenders, i.e. you can buy just the 
fender top, or fender side portion, which results in both a cost and labor 
savings versus buying/shipping/replacing the entire fender.

Some, like Kirk Evans, have several wrecked cars that can be parted out, 
i.e. a Pantera that was hit hard in the rear has good fenders/front end to 
contribute to the cause, and vice-versa.

Don't forget that there were several different styles of front fenders 
used; there were two different   fenders (differing mostly in that the headlight 
openings were of a different size).

It's a shame that several cars are on their way to being wrecked in the 
furtherance of an idiotic movie; rather than being smashed up, if they were too 
rusty to save, they could have at least contributed parts so that others 
may live.   They may yet wind up doing so, hopefullly.
