    Attempting to get some additional guidance and perspective on what to do 
regarding some TR8 fiberglass fenders. There are clearly identifiable cracks 
where the fiberglass has been bonded to the underlying fender (most of metal 
fender has been cut away). Body shop says this is an indication of the need to 
remove and reattach the fiberglass fenders. Another body shop agrees and is 
further concerned about the potential for seriously damaging the fiberglass 
fenders during removal, so it recommending that it make molds of the fenders 
before 
removing.

    The quote of making molds for the four fenders and front fiberglass is 
about $4K, does that seem reasonable realizing this is southern California? 

    Secondly, what is the realistic probability/odds of the fiberglass 
fenders being damaged as they are taken off?

    Thirdly, what is the realistic potential/odds of the old fiberglass 
fenders (20 years?) being damaged when they are replaced?
