Last week we tore down the front sheetmetal on the 68... We had a few issues from the first drive.. Tires were rubbing on the inner fender wells.. We had been playing around with it to see if we could keep them from rubbing.. At Delmar when David was Autocrossing it I could see smoke coming from the front tire rub.. At that point I knew we were going to take off the wells & modify them.. plus I had a leak on the oil thermostat.. So I am re-locating it so that I have acess & can view it @ anytime..
It would have been nice to just run a new set of inner fender wells from Anvil but I could not do it because of fender mount to inner fender well was totally different.. So we modified them for tire clearance.. but @ the same time wanted to remove some weight.. I called Brett Campbell from Fab53 to see if he could do a set for me in fiberglass.. Brett does some real nice fiberglass! Plus now I have the molds to do another set for BB II.. http://i1015.photobucket.com/albums/...n/IMG_1943.jpg http://i1015.photobucket.com/albums/...downsize-2.jpg http://i1015.photobucket.com/albums/...n/downsize.jpg |
The fiberglass inners look great so far.
What exactly was the issue with the Anvil inners? I was wondering if I should buy some or make a glass pair... |
No issues with Anvil inners.. Remember that I stretched the front fenders on this car.. so we had to custom build the outer portion of the inner to match to the fender stretch..

Great work as usual Chris. Got a question for you........Do you think Bret could use the stretched front fenders as a mold and build fiberglasss front fenders?
|
Gaetano- If Brett would have had the time.. we would have tried to get the front fenders & lower valance done.. Brett had some work going on right now.. I got him to squeeze this job in for me.. but we will have front fender in glass on phase II of this car... Right now we just want to get it done & ready to attend some events..
