I had a badly rusted tub but decided to rebuild it rather than go with the MD Juan stuff, I tried MD Juan replacement parts but they were not of any quality as far as fit. I imagine that since their tubs are so far out their replacement panels are based on the tub so they don't fit either. I found that the replacement parts/panels made by Midwest MIl. and Classic Enterprises were of excellent quality and fit very well with a minimum of adjusting. For awhile we heard on this forum and on G503 from Rommel Juan (MD Juan spokesman) and he made a several statements about wanting to improve their product. This seems to me to be a good time for him to step up.

I do fortunately have my original fenders, that would need a lot of work, and the old passenger side fender, where the problem is with the new one, does fit great. I am comparing them now with pics, and measuring, to see what the difference is.
