Author Topic: 65 partial outer wheel house (Read 390 times)

Maybe a stupid question, but... Am I looking at this right?

Does it extend several inches above the trunk floor?

Yes and its a pile of crap. It is NOT a cut and fit piece. More like cut, reshape, rebend, fit and do a few more times before it becomes acceptable. I would look for the dynacorn complete outer well and cut what you need from that. STAY AWAY FROM AMERICAN DESIGNERS

I sectioned it and put in the lower part.

OK. Thanks.

How much of yours needs replacing?

It looks like it needs pretty much all of the partial. I had trunk floors replaced some years ago, along with the usual rust work. The guy did a pretty good job bending up a piece for the bottom of the wheel house, but a sh!tty job welding it in, so I figured it'd be easier to use the partial than to try and salvage what's there and have to make a piece for above what he made. Plus he fixed a small lacy area on the inner house with filler, and I figured I could make that piece if I had something solid to attach it to. There's so much filler and sealer holding his piece in I'm gonna have to cut enough out to make it tough to re-use what he made.

If you need most of it or all of it, I would get the full and cut what you need. Doing a small section like Ryan did, you'll probably be ok with the section.
Here are the pics from mine..

Believe me, it took tons of work to make them fit like they were supposed too. I would do it with sections form full ones if to do it again.
