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.
