Looking good, Scott. I looked at some of the pictures of the front inner fenderwells, but couldn't tell if you had modified them for tire clearance. On my own car, I can tell that this will be the limiting factor (first order) for fitting a bigger tire up front and still having decent turning radius. How did you deal with that? I know Anvil makes composite units that have more room, but the thought of spending $1k on fiberglass inner fenders (or more on CF versions) is tough to swallow if I could find a decent way to modify the existing, stock/repop units I have on the car.

What did you end up doing in this regard?

Mark the iner fender's are repos from OER.They fit like a saddle on a hog.But its my back spacing that allow's me to run wide frt. rim's.You need narrow frame rail's and corvette style back spacing to get this done.The turning radius is all that the ARG rack & pinion will give.

Really like the blacked out rear panel. Did the 2nd gen Z28s come that way?

Keep it up Scott you're almost there.

only big block cars got it.... back then having a satin black tail panel was a sign of having a big block car. it was a sin to do it to a small block car but i guess all the ls cars think they found the loop hole.lol

That's funny right there. I would guess that means the fit quality was less than good?

On the driver side iner fender where it bolts to outer fender lip every hole was about a 1/2 inch.On the pass side the holes for the iner fender braces dont line at all.

Scott, thats why I ALWAYS use org GM inner fenders, I have never had an aftermarket fit. You pay more if you don't have them but it's worth it.

The iners that were on the camaro were so rusted,and all the other I was finding weren't much better.So I poped for some repops.I only took about 3 hours to make them line up.My time isn't worth much.That what customers tell all the time.:lol: But they are on and line up now.Maybe the next car I will try pound out some from scratch.:_paranoid

Ron in SoCal 08-13-2011 05:38 PM

Rick/Scott - just so you know, on my 69 I used AMDs and they fit like a glove. Prob the only repop parts that did on my car!

Welcome Scott! Just to clarify, I was referring only to the inner fenders, although I also installed an AMD lower valence which was just as good...:thumbsup:

After seing the fit that Dan Holahan got for Jay Hillard on his 69 I thought I would give AMD a try.:thumbsup:I need all the help I can get.
