I was wondering what happened to "redqueen". I ended up buying a new
roadster fender from him - the bid was a bit less than new but he also
shipped UPS whereas the major retailers ship by truck. So I may have saved
as much as $75-$100 total. A few weeks after I got the fender, I bid on a
front bumper he had on Ebay. But before the auction was scheduled to end,
Ebay cut it off and suspended his account. So I must have lucked out on
this one.
