      Inner fender wells

      I'm going to build some inner fenders for my Nova, (sick of cleaning everything) so I'd like to see some pics of inner front fenders. If you made them from scratch, even better. Also, if you have a set of front inner fenders that you would like to part with, I may be interested in them.

      Here's a pic of what it looks like now.

      72 Nova SS, on the back burner for now.

      '70 Impala 4drht, 26K original miles, 2" drop springs and large swaybars, drives pretty good for a land yahct in the middle of an ls1 swap, but thinking about changing directions to a duramax diesel swap.

      Inner fenders

      They won't work. I designed and built my frame, radiator support, fender supports, etc from scratch. I also moved my firewall back about 7 inches as well so I'll definitley have to fabricate something myself. I don't care for the look of the flat sheet metal either. Tire clearance would also be an issue with Chassis Works inner wheel wells.

      Thanks for posting though.

      If anyone has pics of cars they've seen at shows or the track, I'd also like to see those.

      Thanks,
      Dennis

      Dennis, they might be a PITA to fit and install, but your car is going to look great with inner fenders. Cars w/o inner fenders just look unfinished - it's always been a pet peeve of mine.

      Inner fenders

      I noticed you said that in a previous post and it got me thinking about my engine bay. That and the fact that I'm cleaning gravel and dirt off the intake and other areas. I spent a lot of time designing and building the frame and suspension and didn't want to cover it up. I don't feel that way anymore.

      It should be possible to build "minimal" inner fenders to keep the dirt out and still show off the excellent workmanship on your car. Awesome car.

      Maybe see if a nearby sheetmetal shop has a big roller. Get them to make a nice rolled piece you can trim to fit. It could bolt or Dzus under the fender lip, then roll out and down close to the engine and it could be removable. That's the plans for when I redo my inners. The only pic I have is in my head...
