Default 70 drivers inner fender needed

who is making these?anybody? i see 68 - 69 being reproduced, but no 70"s, my drivers side has rust damage at the bottom, probably from radiator overflow and battery corrision.

Good luck finding one. I looked for several years and never found any in decent shape. I ended up just repairing my old ones. I haven't even seen any on EBAY. Nobody reproduces them yet. They make Chevelles, Buicks, and Oldsmobliles, but not GTO's for 70's. Post a note in parts wanted maybe a racer has one for sale.

The inner fenders are the same from 1970-72, and are the same as those used on LeMans, Tempest, etc. Four door and station wagon included. They really aren't THAT hard to find.

Oh, and the last ones that I bought, were perfectly rust-free from South Carolina, and I got the pair for $50, as I recall.

Here you go, Norton:

Like OPH said, they're not cheap. I got a pair on eBay earlier this year for $78 and they looked in similar shape to this pair on eBay, so deals can still be had. Good luck in your search.

C'mon- you haven't noticed the factory stapled rubber splash aprons on your, on any other, inner fenders before?
That "skirting" is factory installed, and should be replaced with new when you're redoing these.

I saw those on EBAY too. They look pretty nice, but they have a tendency to be ripped out at the bolt holes in the front and you can't see that in the pics. I did my first resto 4 yrs ago and just had to patch and weld mine there.
