    I knew there would be some fabricating to be done when I started replacing fenders but with all my pictures I'm still stumped. :confused:
    You guys with a SBC 350, how did you fit your inner fenders to fit around all that new stuff you have?
    Remember a picture is worth a thousand words.
    Thanks

    The 350 shouldn't interfere with the sheetmetal. I had to notch over the fatman upper mopunts, but that was all.

    You have the original front axle, mine is a MII and probably I'll need to notch for the uppers.

    Put the radiator support on the frame and try a test fit. Odds are you'll need to trim a little bit of the inner panel to clear the upper A's but it should be minimal. When I helped Boop's Dad hang his fenders and hood last year, we had to nibble away on the panels. Boop's truck has a camaro clip and V8.

    Good luck.
