Looking for a salvage yard in SO. CAL

I'm looking for a good salvage yard in southern california that carries a good amount of camaro parts. I'm looking for a used drivers side front fender off a 91-92 camaro and would like to save on shipping if possable.

::in my most polite voice::
this has been covered in this forum again and again and again. From the last two posts on this forum, we have concluded that thirdgen parts in bone yards are getting harder and harder to find. And, second, someone was supposed to make a list of all of the bone yards in So. Cal. but that never happened (may still be in the works, but i have not heard anything about it).

Also, certain people have a good amount of parts, for instance house of camaro. Look in the So. Cal thirdgen friendly companies that Kevin made into a sticky.

1. You don't need to limit your choices of fenders to years. All steel body parts on third gen Camaros were identical from 1982 to 1992. Same for Firebirds. The styling changes were done with the "soft" plastic parts.

2. To answer your question, Don and I went to both "Pick A Part" yards in Wilmington and found quite a few third gens in both yards. If I remember correctly, both yards are on Blinn Street, one North of PCH the other South of PCH.

Fenders

Because they have two slots on each side that the '91-'92 GXF mounts to.
It's easy to add them if needed.
