Alright gents I need some real life technical advice. I have aborted on going to paint this month. I found myself cutting corners just to get ready in time. I was in the process of doing something 1/2 A** this afternoon and had a WTF moment. I am building this to keep not flip and I know in my heart that I will be pissed off every-single time I pop the hood and see the cut corners I know are there. I am going to purchase new inner fenders and replace mine. Yes this means cutting out rail supports etc etc but this car was a drag car with a BB set of headers punched out inner fender and the associated butchery. I was hand fabricating a million custom pieces to repair out of my fear of doing actual body work. I have never removed inner fenders in my life much less reinstalled them. But I am going to do it. So where do I buy inners? I wish to purchase the best ones I can to compensate for my lack of body skills. Translated I want thick and good fit. I can weld like a bandit but not sure that means anything in the real body work world. Literally the only thing I know about body work is I love the weather gal!

sounds like a smart move - if someone makes them. Is this for a 58 Buick? :poke:

I think AMD has them.
 
TMM liked your buddies work. I'm thinking of re-doing the interior seats and trunk on the 55 next winter. Do you know how far he's booked out??

I can give you the contact information if you like. Or if you get up this way we can pay him a visit. Joel is a cool guy. He does top notch work but still has time for a Legendary seat cover on my Swinger! Oh did I mention he did a Riddler winner a few years back?

Holy Smokes! They don't just give a Riddler away. That is top shelf!

Just throwing it out there, my Demon has homemade inner fenders with cut outs for fenderwell headers. I had an opportunity to cut the full nose off a Duster in a local junkyard. $75 for all..
