Splash Shields

[JPrusinows]

Anybody running with the metal splash shields in place (Front Fender area)? Were they all black or body color? Anybody have any pics with them in place and or with the rubber stapled on edging?

Thank you much and in advance,

Jeff

The top photo is the left front splash shield and the next down is the left rear. It has a notch cut in to clear the USCT inner fender brace.

Mike,

I think I'm getting it now. LOL! How did you determine where to drill holes for the staples or was it the clips that look like staples? What size drill did you use? Looks really good sir! And how many screws/bolts with the big flat washers did you use? Do the attaching bolts for the front shields come in from the engine bay side of the front of the fender?

Thanks again,

Jeff

The holes were OEM as are the shields. I opted for the stainless clips when I purchased new rubber seals. The screws with fender washers were also determined by Chrysler and in the screw kit I bought. In the front shield, the inner fasteners fit through the shield into the inner fender and the outers come in from the head lamp area, including one from the center-not shown in that pic.

Thanks Dave, much appreciated. We just got lucky as tastes sure do change from year to year! It was a pleasure to meet you and we really enjoyed your company! We’ll be back next year but let’s keep in touch in the mean time. My email is JPrusinows@gmail.com. Hope to bring my better half next year as she was a bit under the weather this year. I think she was the smart one as it was one hot son of a gun! You have a beautiful car, and I’m looking forward to seeing what you do to it over the course of the next year (is there anything left! LOL).

Thanks again,

Jeff

Very nice!!! Love it! Do you have photos of the front shields as well?

I was at Carlisle, didn't make it to the tent and I'm damn sure I didn't make it through the whole swap meet area! They need to add a day as this thing just keeps getting bigger and bigger!

Some photos from the show.
