front fender replacement questions.
2006 Ram 2500..front fenders...Forgive me for asking as I have not figured out how my fenders are put together. ..are thier any spot welds on to the inner fender assembly?
Is it as simple as removing head light assembly, un bolting from cab, inner fender assembly, remove inner fender shield.. ie un bolt and re bolt?
If I go new fenders, they need paint anyways and assembly at a body shop, but, it I can find a used set, is this a easy deal to do?
I cant up load rusty pics from my phone..
Considering fender flares and patching up my self...screws for mud flaps dystroyed lower corners on fenders..if I supply my fenders...1300.00 to paint and install for 2 fenders.

It is as simple as you think. You can always use the service manuals in my signature to help you out.
Automotive paint/materials and labor is never cheap. Fenders should not be just painted but paint blended to match the other panels that have faded over a period of time due to uv exposure.
