Gaslight Repro 1930-31 Front Fenders
Gaslight is the manufacturer of the '30-'31 Front Fenders, attached is what Snyder's writes in their catalog as of 2016 regarding the Fit and Finish of the Gaslight fenders. Generally, l am happy that Snyder's describes what they sell, l have learned to Read Into the description of certain items though.
I was fortunate to get a set of the First run on these fenders, l got the left and had to wait 6 months to get my right fender once they got production going, then they had both in stock.
My experience differs greatly from what l have read regarding the Fit and Finish of the fenders which have been produced for Several years here, there are numerous previous threads regarding these fenders.

There are more threads, l Googled "fordbarn.com Gaslight" and found numerous examples. Results seem to vary, A fender is better than no fender.
At the time l was building a '31 pickup, l ordered Rootlieb Splash Shields and Running Boards and the fit was about as perfect as one could hope for. Also Attached is a photo from the mid-80's of my project.
I do recall, because the fenders must be shipped by Truck, that at the time it cost me nearly $1,000 per fender by the time l got them to Interior Alaska. So l was very happy that they fit so we'll.
Hope this is helpful
