LS6 Chevelle inner fenders
 
Are plastic or metal inner fenders correct to use for LS6 Chevelle,? my Chevy by the numbers book does not cover that.

My March of 1970 Arlington Texas built LS-6 car has plastic inner fenders.

They are not LS-6 specific. Most early cars came with metal and switched to a plastic on the passenger side due to battery corrosion. Some plants used plastic on both sides but they can come from the factory with all steel, one steel and one plastic and both plastic. All three are considered correct. Baltimore cars more commonly used the plastic whereas Leeds used all steel as an example.

Thanks Rick,

As did my 05D Arlington car. Still have them stuffed overhead in the garage. I guess that's something else I should rectify. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/crazy.gif

https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/dunno.gif I don't recall you mentioning these were replaced. What happened?

Were you out of commission yesterday? Did you get my e-mails?

A couple of splits, like most of them. I probably should put them back since they're really not that bad. Then I'll need to resurrect one of the EB-9As to cover the holes on the driver's side. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/naughty.gif

VERY busy yesterday...... my apologies. Might make the visit this afternoon though. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/dunno.gif I'll call first.

Ah, yes, the stuff we used to do.....never thinking of the downside of having non-OEM holes in OEM plastic inner fenders 35+ years later https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ins/tongue.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/grin.gif Every respectable performance car had to have a tach back then https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ins/3gears.gif

Re: LS6 Chevelle inner fenders
 
https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/crazy.gif I think I had an RC85 on it first, then switched to an SST90.

I still have all of the original ones (tachs) and have picked up a few more over the years.

So Bill, which set-up should I put back on it? https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/dunno.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/wink.gif
