Default Inner Fender and Front Clip Installation

I will be sending my 69 Camaro to paint hopefully soon. One issue I am running into is that I have a ton of wiring, plumbing, AC lines, Hydroboost lines etc that I have secured on the inner fenders using Kugel clamps and line clamps.

All of the pre-assembly where I secured these lines were done with just the inner fender sitting on the tires. Everything I have seen and read suggests that the inner and outer fenders be assembled as once piece.

I am looking for some advice and guidance on how you guys managed to install all of the hidden items in the fenders wheels. The only way that I can see to do it is to install the inner and outer fenders separately but I am concerned with doing this on a painted car.


Unless I am missing something there are no hard bolting points for the inner fender, without the outer fenders installed.

Thanks in advance...

Its possible to bolt the fenders on without the inner fenders, then install the inner fenders. You must leave the lower fender extensions off. Its tight, and some "bowing" is needed. If you have the option to leave the subframe off, it would be easier, but not required.
