Milwaukee Members ?

Any members in this area. There is an 85 Bonneville in the cars for sale . I contacted the owner and not sure if he will pull and ship. If any members are willing to pull this and ship it, I would appreciate it. I'm just needing the passenger side inner fender extension,timo22

Are these the same extensions you've been trying to find for months?

I'm about 2 hours away.

Yessir! I'm pretty persistent . The owner that posted the ad responded and said he is willing to pull it and ship it if it is still good. I've been able to get everything but this extension. Thanks everyone for your responses.
For you guys searching for GBody parts , such as these fender extensions, I would recommend Row52. It is easy to join and covers the picknpulls across the country. There are also a lot of other yards that participate. On top of that, you can message parts pullers who will go and pull your parts. I located 6 bonnevilles across the country and was able to have these parts pullers check out 5 of the 6 cars for me. Unfortunately, they all were either gone or damaged.
While I'm waiting for more to hit one of the yards, I've been searching craigslist. I originally searched under parts and while I located a couple of cars, I expanded my search in cars for sale. This is how I came across the ad in the Milwaukee craigslist.
The ironic thing about this whole deal is that I actually pulled a set of these extensions back in June . I was trying to locate some fender extensions for Texas82gp. After I pulled them, I looked at the picture he sent me and I could tell they wouldn't work for his car. I just put them back in the car. Fast forward 2 weeks, I end up buying my 82 Bonneville . Of course, I go back to the yard and the car was crushed..really? You have cars sitting for almost a year, and crush this one in a month. On top of that, I knew of 5 bonnevilles at the yards in April and May . All crushed when I got my car. Still looking...timo22

That sucks about those cars getting crushed. There are probably a lot of good g bodies crushed. I'll have to check out Row52. I downloaded it the other day and I still haven't opened it up.

You've been looking for a while. I can try to help. I work at a salvage yard. I can see if I can locate one through work tomorrow. What years will work? Right side only? Do you happen to have a pic of what this extension looks like? We don't have any cars this old at the yard I work at but I've seen some G Bodies on the network that we use to connect to other yards. I'll do a search and see what I come up with.

82-86 Bonneville . Here is a couple pics of the driver side. I was able to find this one . Of course, I need the passenger side . I would imagine the passenger side is a mirror image of the driver side..timo22

Ok, cool. That helps. Does the extension go on the front of the inner fender or the rear?

 

[Opie Knievel]

I checked out Row52, that's a really good setup. If I had more time, I'd pull some parts for extra cash. It's what I do for a living anyways.

The Bonneville s actually have two extensions. They are located in the front wheel wells. Basically, the inner fenders on Bonneville s are three piece. One large middle piece, which is most the fender. In front of the tire is the front lower extension. It keeps water from splashing your lights and battery. They also have a rear extension which cover the frame section behind the front tire. The pics I posted are the front ones. Approx. 12"x14" The rear ones are smaller , maybe 6"x8"

 

[Opie Knievel]

Awesome. That should be all I need to know. You'd be surprised how many people come to the salvage yard wanting a part but have no idea what it's called. Or they'll want to go show you what they want or want to go identify the part because there's a couple different versions on that particular vehicle, then they get to the vehicle and either get the completely wrong version themselves or they can't remember what it looks like exactly or half of the time I'll pull up to the kind of vehicle that they're working on and they'll look around and never recognize it. It's so refreshing to get a parts request from a person who not only knows what part he needs, he knows what years will work, has a picture of the part, and knows it's dimensions. Thank you. I wish more people were like that. I hope I can locate your part at a reasonable price.
