ordered a fender for a 66 impala and was told they would finish it to primer ready to paint. I asked about its condition and was told minor surface rust and minor dings, no bondo. It was received in the time promised but had been patched in one place and in another place a hole had been poorly covered with bondo.
I certainly would insist on seeing a pic or two next time and would insist on sending it as is, it had to be striped and refinished anyway.
