Inner fender Material

I have just finished installing a Volare suspension and have cut the Inner fenders to fit over the upper control arms.
What I would like to do is add some material to the cut out area to help keep down the water and dirt.
What would any body recomend for that kind of material? Rubber, A heavy canvas?

Thanks

Dennis

I am using the rubber skirting material that you can buy that goes around the lower edge of the 53-55 F100 cabs...

I am using an old alternator rubber splash shield and plastic push pins to seal between the apron and the front suspension arms.

I made a steel insert and contoured it to the original panel, it's a bit of work but the results are worth it, looks factory, will add pics to my gallery soon

60-mil pond liner would work, and it's cheap.

Not sure how big the cutouts are, but my Corvette uses rubber "dust shields" held in place by plastic push in "rivets".



Maybe you could fab up something like this?

I cut up a pair of old rubber/plastic floor mats for mine. Seems to be holding up fine....
