Outer wheel houses?
« on: September 29, 2008, 07:59:08 AM »

Been a while since I posted.  Baby on the way, buying new family oriented cars, etc.  Smiley

So the Dart is now in for paint and body work.  I wanted to know if anyone has come across outer rear wheel houses anywhere?  As typical, the outer lips on mine are torched and need to be fixed.  The last I checked no one had them available, but I wanted to run it buy everyone again.

Thanks!

I believe Auto Metal Direct is supposed to be carrying them sometime in the upcoming year.

I've been emailing them periodically to check on the status of the quarters, and they say they are 60 to 90 days out.

if yours arent really that bad, you can hammerform a patch around a wooden buck. i had to do mine this way. the wheel flange was gone and about 1" up from it.  or you can just run tubs and seal them with silicone to the quarter. ditch the wheelhouse all together.

It is the edges and we'll just have to fab some stuff up for them.  I already widened the stock wells, and prefer the "stock" look even though there is a sacrifice in tire diameter.
