   I"m working on a friends 66 Tiger.  The front fender is a mess of bondo 
 and the metal is really past the point where is could be properly 
 straightened.  So I plan on replacing it.  Can anyone advise me on 
 interchangeable years and/or places to look for the body parts.  Its the 
 front passenger fender from the tiger badge forward.
 
 Thanks

Ian,
I would advise searching for a scrapped Tiger and using only 'authentic' 
Tiger parts.  Don't use Alpine fenders.  They might fit, but they give bad off 
karma when attached to the wrong vehicle, and concours judges at Tiger meets 
always mark down cars they feel might be a partial Alpine conversion.
