Technical Is there anyway to ID or tell the difference between a BeBop and Wescott Front fender

My 86 year old pop had an incident and now I need to most likely replace or possibly repair the RF fender. I was pretty sure these fenders were from Be Bop but he swears they came from a company out west? I am certain at one point at least the rears came from be bop because they weren't 38 coupe fenders and didn't fit and he had to drive back to Tenn. I built the car in 2005-2006 and just cant remember for sure. I would sure like to make sure they are both the same fenders I know from past experience they can be a big difference. I know Wescotts are really nice but does anyone happen to know if Wescotts puts any kind of tag or part number in their parts? or any way to differentiate between the two? Thanks in advance. Mike

 

On the Wescott 33-34 Ford fenders, they either engraved or molded in the part number somewhere where it gets covered up when assembled. Poli-Form, on the other hand, used to encapsulate a business card on the underside of the fender in the resin.

Wescott is thin and hand laid, right?
Poly form and Bebop are thick and chopper gun sprayed, right?

 

Call Wescotts and ask Karl if he can tell if it's theirs by sending him a photo of the back side of the fender.

I think polyform glassed the business card on the backside of everything they made. Not sure how to id a Wescott fender but they can probably tell you how.

Replace both fenders to get matched pair.

In the asymmetrical tradition of Tex Smith, make them mismatched. Or if your tradition sources from the end of our time window, cite Roth as your authority...

 

Westcott fenders, in my opinion are the closest thing to the original. HRP

 

First lets establish what year & make of car you're talking about. you mention 38 coupe fenders.
