the repro fenders are no thicker than 19 gauge, and weight 2 pounds less than 
a GM fender.  they are well made with corect bends, curves and 
reinforcements, but they are just very thin.  I was not impressed.  I spoke 
to Jim carter about this, and he said the chinese frequently use thin metal 
to save their dies.  I also believe they are thinner than 19ga, as the metal 
is most likely metric spec.  I wrote down numbers in preparation for an 
article about them.
