53-56 Smooth front inner fenders
I have a Volare front end and the inner fenders were hacked up for the upper A arms, and I've really been thinking about some after market smooth/custom inners, does anyone make them, I would think some nice fiberglass ones would be cool, has anyone fabricated their own? Pic of an install would be appreciated.

Here is a pic of my truck with the stainless steel inner fenders. If you have any mods at all to make to the stainless panels then pack a lunch...not the easiest task to get right. There is absolutely no benefit to fiberglass inner fenders...probably a good rationale as to why no one sells them.

Measure the placement from the original firewall (if you look at my pic closely you will see the Sharpie lines I drew to mark the bracket location on each side)...that is with one exception, I don't place the mounting brackets ABOVE the inner fender panel, I place them below where they are not seen. I use a section of 2 inch angle and drill the holes once I have the inner fender in place. You can thread the hole, use a loose nut (not the best idea), weld a nut in place, or use a rivet nut which is my preference.
