inner fender removal
on a 1970 gto is it a lot of work to remove the drivers side inner fender? i need to relocate my brake junction block to clear my hooker super comps and if i pulled it out it might make it easier....

not easy, especially if you have PB, I don't think you can do it without removing the fender. you could use the later model firebird bracket setup where the block gets mounted under the master cylinder.

by late model do you mean like a 79 80 style or newer than that?

It's a pain, but can be done. If your paint is nice you will probably want to heavily tape the edges to help avoid scratches.
On my '70, I managed to install the driver's inner fender well without too much drama. You will have to rotate the fender well and tilt it at different angles to find that magic fit. You will also have to kinda gently bend the fender well to avoid the fender. If your suspension is detailed as mine is, I would suggest taping cardboard or something else sturdy to the top of the control arm and frame. It'll work, it won't be fun. -Matt

It can be done, two things, jack the car up high enough for the fender well too come in behind the rotor. Second unbolt the fender at the bottom where it bolts by the frame. I just did mine on the T-37 and they went in without any problems. Just remember too rotate them in from the firewall forward.
