Stupid question, but I will ask

Stupid question, but I will ask - 08/12/14 02:07 AM

70 cuda the inner front splash shields that go between the front fender and door where not installed when the car was put together. Don't ask why, to this day it stills bugs me. I have resolved to put them on. Is there anyway to do this now that the car is together without taking the fender off?

I assume I have to jack it up take the wheels off?

It probably could be done on the ground with 1/4" drive ratchet, short extention & the wheel cranked to one side.

Yup...Oh yes do install them. Easy to do with the right hardware. There's a couple bolts with big washers and the rest are sheet metal screws with big washers built in.
They provide so much and keep the hot air out of your doors and interior. Keeps your car quieter inside and makes for a quality car. Then they protect everything behind them from road splash.Use all the factory shields, they really work.



Look how they protested the dog leg on these fenders.

You can see exactly where they lined the inner fender.

Do you have any idea what size the bolts are?

1/4 inch if my memory is correct, might be 5/16 also

Those would be the top two, the ones down the side are the sheet metal screws?

I will post the exact sizes later today if no one else comes up with them. I'll post a page out of Dave Wises book.

If I recall correctly. Someone has a hardware kit made up for these. I used it to install them on my car. Sorry I can not remember where I bought the kit.

Thanks for the help. The 2 A bolts go on the bottom, and the 6 B bolts work their way up the shield, correct?

I have many times in the past and He has never said anything to me about it. It is why I gave him credit at the top of my post. Just trying to help a guy out.

He did cite the source of the material, he did not receive reimbursement, or print the book in its entirety. What it did do was help someone out in a pinch. It also has inspired me to search and find out where I can purchase such a useful book. In the not to distant future I plan on buying the book. So I greatly appreciated the help and hope no one gets in trouble.

Here's Byron & Dave's book, it along with a factory service manual is real handy when working on these old cars.

I'm not the copyright police, nor do I benefit from the sale of this manual, when the copyright states "No portion of this publication may be reproduced or transmitted in any form or by any means, electronic or mechanical . . . " I'd say it's pretty clear.

The way to cover yourself is to ask permission, in writing, and retain a copy of the correspondence.

And the way to help someone on this cite is to discuss what the manual says, and perhaps take a picture of a fastener you have.

Like I said, not my fight, just wanted to make you aware to avoid a potential issue.

Didn't think it was a fight.

Dave is on here, I have been on here since 2005 and have posted many pages out of his book many times. I bet I have helped sell more than one copy of his book for him by posting pages of his book here.

If he wants me to stop, please PM me here and I will gladly stop.

Well, thanks to this post I am going to buy the book, so I'd say Dave Wise is ok with it...
