Well I'm pretty sure I need it and cannot find any.... cannot even find a full fender!

I appreciate it. Don't think I can drive that far yet as my neck is still pretty stiff
Let me know if you happen to look at them but don't go outta your way

I'll try that. Wouldn't grinding the heads off be enough to get the trim off?
Also what is your opinion on working on the inside of the fender??? Did you paint yours body color because I do not remember?

Well obviously it would be enough to get the trim off, but what are ya gonna do? Leave the studs in? You also didn’t specify if the trim is eventually going back on or not. Just sayin’.

And because you apparently didn’t want to look for yourself even though you know what the build thread is, I went and found it for ya:

Starting at post #2100. Just how I did mine, do as you wish naturally. And yes, I painted the inside of mine body color, but my “A” body fenders are slightly different than your 2-piece “G” body ones. My inner fenders are one piece with my outers.

Sorry I didn't know you had that in your build thread... No not keeping the trim. Should have mentioned that. I was all set up with the welder and as I ground them down I was able to get a vice grip and spin them out no problem.
Thanks D.

My lord there are many 10mm bolts and clips holding inner to outer!!!View attachment 148904View attachment 148905

I've only messed w/Malibus…. I never knew the inner structure for the other models fenders un-bolted from the outer skin.

Well it'll make it easier to paint inside of the fender. It's going to be a lot of work for each fender. To be expected and I've got the time. Just more difficult with basically one hand!

I'm working on making new taller inner wells on some spare Malibu fenders. The inner/outer skins are spotted/welded together on my mock-up fender & the plastic inner well attaches to each @ different locations. I guess Malibu guys don't get access to the inside of the outer skin w/o cutting things apart.

There isn't much @ this point. I mocked up some ideas to help decide on a direction. I wish I had access to someone local & the ability to do 3D design but I need the clearance asap so primitive fab it is.
