The new old VW fenders for the Beetle

My project didn't come with rear fenders and I think I have spent the last 3 months trying to find some locally. I couldn't even find crappy ones. But all that changed yesterday as a guy going to school at Iowa State had some left over parts from a build. But for $20.00 and I got some used, good condition rear fenders for the VW bug. So, I immediately got them home and cut them up into bits. Hindsight, I might have trimmed them a bit short, but I wanted to clear a nasty dent on one of them... and I didn't want them to extend too far back from where the body had been cut. I'm sure the local police will let me know if I don't meet the street legal requirements.
