Added inner fenders to protect wheel wells for stones throwing from wheels. Fast and easy DIY fix to avoid cracks to paint. Allready had couple of cracks on rear fenders..

Very nice work!
Yes, but what's holding those inner fenders in place?
There are three scrwes bolted to subframe. Not yet on their places in pics.

I've seen trash cans used (trimmed to fit)
Steve built a set of inner fenders for his slantnose cabriolet. Sheet of heavy textured black plastic, alot of trimming and heat. He got the plastic to actually form round curves. Looks really good.

what about rubberized undercoating instead?
if one of those fell off / caught a wheel or the wind - you'd do a lot of damage.
i would weigh the risk of a stone hitting the fiberglass so far it cracked it vs the risk of those falling off. my $0.02

Im using dynamat (sound deading) coated with rubberized undercoating . Reason Im using the mat is it is thick and will slow any debris thrown at it.
I did mine in nylon put a few beads of urethane while you tape it in and its very perment. used a gimp gun to fold and staple the peaces together the intire thing slides in pretty tight the sealed it up with the urethane they are not going anywhere extept up the road.
They also double as a air rams channeling air up into the engine bay I put rabbit wire over the bottom and forward a foot to keep leaves out it works perfect.

Very nice job and using materials that don't cost an arm and a leg, too!
I've often thought of doing a set out of ABS plastic, just like the "real" car companies use, but the cost of a 4' X 8' sheet at about $100 USD put me off. I've been looking at junk yard cars to see if anything there might look similar in size, but then I get side-tracked with other projects. I've also never figured out how to fasten to the wheel well lip, other than glassing in some sort of mounting strip. It all seemed like enough work to delay me thus far.
Again....very nice job!
