so i keep forgetting to take pictures of the stuff i work on for my son
here is a picture of the rear fender. it has a sticker on it. is it something i should be trying to save
also shows what sort of condition the fender is in
after talking to some others on here i have found out that the fenders available online are not what they seem to be
so i think we will try to polish up the old ones and go from there

so finally an update
got the original fenders cleaned up.i am finding that replacement fenders arent correct so i think that the originals will be just fine. I dont think i am going to rechrome them they turned out really nice i think. i have a guy thats going to bring some wipe on stuff to protect them
here is some before and after pictures.
rear fender before
rear fender after
front fender sort of a bad shot. forgot to take one before starting work on it
this is just after i ground of all the rust
front fender after

Thanks everyone
well guys it is just some simple elbow grease.
i started with about an 80 grit paper on a random sander and worked up to 800 grit paper. then i used some steel wool with some metal polish to get the final shine. they are not as silver or shinny as chrome but they are ORIGINAL.
the stuff that i am going to put on it is called shark hide i think. google it its cool stuff
