Not sure if this is the right section, but here goes.

In viewing the various forums the other day, I saw a picture of a silver car with some beautiful custom inner fender panels. Now I can't seem to find the picture. Could those of you that have fabricated custom inner fender panels on your car post some pics? I'm thinking I want to go that direction in order clean up the engine compartment.

Thanks in advance.

Anyone ever use a modified 1st/2nd gen camaro (or some other big GM body car) type ft fender well - sorta like what DSE did on jr's car ? Split and add piece and then modify/build a custom mount. I'll be needing something like that for my project and was thinking about this type of solution. Or maybe something like what you guys have illustrated above might work for me too.

Thanks Payton

I've got a Wayne Due C4 Subframe. I finally mounted the front fenders and inner fenders and the control arm openings on the inner panels are no where close to lining up with the C4. So, I'm trying to decide whether to modify the inner fenders or built some custom units to cover all of it up.

Did my inner fenders and I am using a 21st century subframe. Jim is also doing Jimmy Johnson's (#48) car and he modified the stock inners like you were speaking of. I can get you pictures of that if you like. It really comes down to if you want the stock engine bay look. I opted for the custom inners so I could hide wiring and hoses to clean up the bay a bit.

When you install the custom style - how do you closeout the fender well and hide the hoses and wiring inside the fender well ? Is there a tub liner in there - or can you still see the stuff attached when you look over the tire into the well ?

Sorry for all the questions, guess I could hit some shows and look next time. Thanks !!

What would be a decent price to pay for such a mod??

You really cannot see the hoses and wiring with the wheels on and sitting at ride height. You could make a false wall (cover) if you do not want them seen.

I had the inside of my fenders coated with line-x bed liner...pretty heavy coat, so if rock get thrown up it would not make little tits on the tope side of the fenders. I still need to make some splash panels, for lack of a better term, to keep rock and water off of the fire wall.
