Stupid question - Inner fender splash shields on a B body

[Rustymopar]

I think I may have screwed up. Do the inner fender spalsh shields (black) go on the body before the front fender or can they be installed after the front fender are on? I neglected to give them to my body guy. Uggghhhhh,,,,, Not the end of the world but an added expense if they can't go on after the fenders are on.

I even had a discussion on this forum about splash shields a year ago.. God I'm effin stupid. Inexperience and plain out stupid!!! My mind is slipping. Grrrrrrrrrr

They can go in after the fender is installed, no biggie.

I just put them in my Charger after the fenders were installed with no problems. I did test fit them while we were doing the body work and sprayed them with undercoating after that.

My car came with no shields , so i installed them with fender on, no problem.

Also I think that Jim with DMT has the rubber seals for them.

OMG!!! Really??? I even purchased the gasket set a year ago...So relieved I can install them after the fenders are on. I think I just got a woody!!! Thanks to you guys!! Wait....... that aint cool. LOL

Mine also came without the shields and I put them on without removing fenders. Not hard

Where did you get your gasket sets? I need a set for an A and B body. Any Info would be helpful.

For all your body gasket needs.

I was always told that the stupid question was the one you never asked! Good Luck!

I believe you have to install the antenna before the splash shields go on.

I will look. Why would that be though?

Because the antenna is behind the splash shield the best I can remember. I may have to walk out to the garage and check.

Yep that's true.

It would definitely be easier, but not impossible.

I'm with that, or hire a midget with little bitty hands!:hello2:

Installed the splash shields and rubber splash flaps today. They went in pretty easy.

Installed mine after the fenders where on and used the Detroit Muscle gaskets (fit perfect). The only other thing I might add is that putting them in after made it hard to keep the outer seal lip facing forward and sealing tight, you can take a thin ruler and push it back out from the door jam.
