Ya- what Scott said...Given your nice new paint...I wouldn't drive the car at all without the inner fenders (or something) in there, you WILL get damage ...everywhere. Our 69 Chevelle drag car had no inners when we got it and man, the fenders were just trashed from the inside out.
I have seen guys take the original metal inners and section them to remove/smooth out the various random stiffening bumps, grooves, etc, fill up all the holes, etc. When all done, they look pretty nice...
You could also do all of the smoothing to the metal inners and then use them to make a mold, and make yourself some fiberglass ones...or carbon fiber if you are feeling a real zest for adventure!
