Yes what Broey said, this set is for 73-87 and we also make ones for 67-72s , the manufacturer I use builds noses for semis and he builds the the same way, a very high quality , very durable fiberglass inner fender . They come as shown in gloss black gel coat !

Here are a few pics of how the inner fender was trimmed

[67cheby]

here are a few more pics of the original ones being test fitted

[watahyahknow]

i can see now a template would be handy , find some points to center them on though (boltholes in the fender outside the cut or sumtin like that )

[smashingchuck]

so these still use the factory hinges?

The 80-87's can use the cowl mounted part of the hinge an then add a strut, I have some pics with part numbers for this conversion , the 73-79 will need a custom hinge made

any measurements yet?

[67cheby]

I got tons of pics and measurements, I will post them in the morning when I get to work !

Makes me wish I would have waited for these and not gone with the trailer fenders

[smokedat]

do you offer custom made tubs, or perhaps a disassembled kit were the user cuts n chops to fit a particular application?
I am interested in purchasing a pair but i would have to chop it like 1/3 to lower the top of the tub to clear my hinge, see pic
These tubs will present a challenge on 73+, custom hinges will be necessary and hinging off the fire wall to hood that weighs 80+ lbs . And if you cut out the tub to clear the hinge it will be an eye sore distorting the smooth curved lines

[watahyahknow]

those are realy nice hinges , but youre right there not going to fit
i know porterbuild make fitting ones for the pre 73 version that mount n the firewall

I think you could make a pocket into the tub to contour around the hinges and it would still look smooth !

Here is some pics of a fellow board members strut conversion, keeping the back cowl mounted part on the 80-87's

[67cheby]

Broey !! Here's some pics !

[67cheby]

a few more

[67cheby]

and a few more

[watahyahknow]

i think he could use the measurements in between the tubs as whell as he was figuring out if he could still use his headers with the tubs in place

[67cheby]

hmmm...these are on the outside of the frame rails and headers are on the inside, so i dont see any way there could be any interferance.

[SCOTI]

From the pics, it appears the wiring bulkhead is right up against the tubs as well. My assumption was mods would be probable here but maybe you've already verified that OE wiring can exit w/o interference?

[broey]

no, Im wondering if the inside lip of my wheels is going to hit the inside part of the fender.
it looks like it drops down a little more the further they go in, whats the overall width of the fenders?

its hard to tell in that picture, but he left room for the harness fit. it will have to travel up, but will work.

[67cheby]

Scoti, here is a pic of the concave for the wiring, it is close and the wiring will touch the Tubz but it does have enough room to turn !

I will have to take the overall measurement, from the edge of the fender to the edge of the tub is 14 inches
