Thanks guys, well I'm still in school and its exam period so I have a bunch of time off before summer starts and i can get a summer job. Basically the front fender work is only costing me my time so yes it would be cheaper to buy +30 front fender rather than have them custom built but all im spending is my time and not money.
Also the steel front fenders will be stronger and have straighter lines than a aftermarket fiberglass piece. I already have tonnes of straightening to do to the spoon hardtop so that it looks good and smooth when its all painted...

nice work, I would recommend you to seal the rear quarter panel and put some under coat so it wont rust. I have just finished mine here is a pic if you want to see how it looks like with out the holes. Good luck and have fun I did the work my self too.

Forgot to include these pictures,
This was before I started work on the front fenders
Got a chance to work on the car again today, cleaned up the rear quarters a bit, still waiting to be fully welded, and did some trimming on the overfenders to be able to fit these damn wheels...
Also started blocking the car to get rid of any small dents and dings in the car, these guys are super picky and can spot shit out that I never knew was there. Anyways this process involves sanding evenly using a block as much as possible so that the dent isnt as big as so that it doesn't require much if any fill. I got rid of most of them using this method
Wheels are 18x9.5 +35 with a 265 and 18x8.5 +35 with a 235 in the front
