Default Junkyards in the Houston area?

I'm in need of a driver side fender. Anyone know of any yards with a few f-bodies sitting around?

I think he might be looking for one that is known to have F-bodies. I have tried to calling every place in the phone book bit and wasn't very successful myself.

Manuels always has Fbodies in stock. They are usually expensive, but for a fender, I would start there. They have nice yards and are likely to have a quality fender in stock

Tex-Mex on 249 and Tex-Mex on Sweetwater usually have a few. Its a pull it yourself yard. Fender will probably be cheaper if you can find a good one.

My insurance tries for the certifit first...then if it doesnt fit they will go OEM.......Ive only had 1 dealing with this certifit stuff (rear bumper cover) and the placement of the studs in the bumper cover mold were off by over an inch on one side...and more than 2 on the other......needless to say I ended up with OEM. That may have been a rare thing as I have heard good things about the certifit stuff too, However.... my experience with it was not good at all.....the aftermarket and certifit stuff is cheaper for a reason.

Or you can just walk into ONE junk yard and ask them to put out on the radio that you are looking for an fbody fender....
