I used Anchor Nuts #GM1021 to hold the fenders on.  These fit and worked well.

I mounted the rear fenders and used Filling Station #B184 3/16 Beaded Fender Welt.  It's Vinyl and is 1 1/2" wide.  Comes in a 25 foot roll for $15.50.  It fit good but is a little loose around the top of the fender.  I might try a piece of black duct tape on the inside of the welt to tighten it up.

Great info Tom..I have some but could use a 25' roll...that 3/16 diameter is just right.

How are they installed...did you use existing holes?

Ed,
They installed just like the originals.  Using the original holes you place them in from the inside of the car.  Then there are two tabs that fold over from the out side of the car to secure them in place.  It makes it real easy to mount the fenders.

DID YOU GET THE ANCHOR NUTS DIRECTLY FROM GM OR DID YOU GET THEM FROM AN AFTERMARLKET SUPPLIER.

Got the front tires on 33 and got it on the ground.  Here's a couple of pics from in the garage.  I like the way it sits :)

While I was working on my front fenders this weekend my Dad, who's a retired sheet metal worker decided to help out and make my battery box cover.  He has all his equipment in my cellar.  He took he measurements and when he came out this is what he had.  We painted it and attached the hinge.  Done and I didn't have to do a thing.

Tom...Your Dad did great job with that cover. ...Of course you realize that he's now entitled to borrow the car whenever he wants,
 right? ;)

Moose,
He will get the first ride in the car.  He was born in 1933 so he and the car have something in common.  He's been waiting patiently but hopefully pretty soon.

Got the car fired up this weekend.  My daughter got the honors of turning the key.  When it first started there was a grinding noise that scared the heck out of me.  It had run a couple of years ago with no problems.  We finally figured out it was the transmission cover hitting the flex plate.  I bought a "universal" plastic one that doesn't fit quite right.  After removing it the car ran great.  Just a couple small leaks I need to fix.  I still have some things to get done before I go to the DMV to get it registered.  I was able to drive it out of the garage, turn it around and drive it back in.  Getting closer!  Here are a couple pics of it while I had it outside.
