Hi guys … always catch your uploads ... back from day 1 - always good info.
Presently restoring a '67 GTO … arriving at the point of installing some new front inner fender shields when I caught your upload on the sidebar here … (cool coincidence it was). Good points u share in the use of the adhesive and wire.
I myself had wanted a 'better fit and appearance' than the use of the original shields supplied by a few of the aftermarket makers ((not to shun NPD)) but hey - they only supply not make em right ... (a plug --> yes NPD is a good out-source that I've used in the past).
SO anyways … I bought a roll of neoprene off a supply house at ebay that specializes in (u guessed it) all things 'neoprene' … this is readily available in a variety of thicknesses and dimensions (roll or sheet) for any purpose needed (such as 'splash shields'). The important thing is "not" to order too thin a 'mil thickness' for the job at hand.
I know - inquisitive minds will want to know ... 'my choice' ... ( 1/8" with 60 duro ) ... duro = temp. resistance and longetivity against failure. The cost was very minimal - (actually far cheaper than buying 'pre-made') … I can make 6 for 2 of those as an example (lol) + the better fit and better appearance is the end result - "a win win situation".
You've already displayed the wire vs. staple technique SO no worries there for those looking for them there correct staples since those aren't supplied as in a 'pre-made kit' AND for those who would rather have that 'original' factory appearance than the usage of rivets - which yes, do work as well.
Keep those uploads a comin' … your 'tips and techniques' for the DIY'er are always appreciated - along with added humor of course … just wouldn't be the same without ... :)
The custom staple idea is good and looks much easier and neater. I thought it would be nice to use heavy gauge stainless aircraft safety wire and do a twist/tuck on the metal side to get great tension and have the sharp edges out of the way. Aircraft or racing mechanics will know what this is, but for those unfamiliar, the technique can easily found on RUclips vids. Thanks for the good content!
A Very Happy New Year 🎊To One an All At The Shop ..!!!! 🎉
Great Idea on the Staples....
If you guys don't mind, I will be borrowing that idea for my project....
Thanks Guys !!!! 👍👍👍
It's a gift! Merry Christmas!

Thank You Guys. ! ! ! !
Merry Christmas 🎄 an Happy New Years 🎉. ! ! ! To Everyone At The Shop..
Also want to Thank You 🙏 for giving us such great an helpful video’s through out the year.!.!.!
👍 👌 👍
A raised glass and a toast to all - 🍷
I even use rivits on the felt stripes on the rear quarter windows on the Mustangs.
Pat beat me to the rivit comment, staples, "we don't need no stinkin staples"
Wish I would've known about using wire I just did mine about 3 mounths ago. 👍😃
You'll know now! I always put stuff in my mental "quiver" when I find tasty info. Makes me look smarter than I am. This one came out of my uncle and my's frustration with this "activity". We worked out the best way to do it. Not quite as effective when dealing with the rubber topper on radiator core supports, for those we use a little tougher wire.
Very helpful video! Iv been trying to figure out where to find and how to install this stuff for a couple weeks now thank you!! Do y’all think stainless self tapping screws will work? Thank you
They will, just won't be correct looking.
@@AutoRestoMod they won’t look correct but will work?
If eyes never see the work, pop rivets work well if used with a backer washer. Sometimes that is all that will work. Saves a lot of time, too.
If these weren't out in the open that would work well too!
Out in the open?, Don't you have to crawl under to see those?
@@classicstangbrn8964 Nope! They are right on top of the inner fender; visible when you open the hood.
hey guys lots of helpful info on your videos, were the seals that you installed the same from left to right? they look to be different from what i can see in the video.the set i bought are the same for each side and the passenger side does not fit very good if at all. any input would be very helpful, thanks.
Yes they are
Ya I’m dealing with these right now, bought two sets made by Dennis carpenter, they aren’t made right, not even close. Love that DC makes parts but I’ve found many that aren’t right on my build
Old thread but this comment remains valid for the 67 ford pickup. The DC splash shield fit great on one side...does not fit the other, not even close to being correct.
Now I know how to reinstall the tag (sport custom option) on the front of the box, even though no one will see it lol I have a lot of specialty tools, but not a stapler that'll punch through metal.
Almost no one does! Lol I don't know if I want to hang around with the guy who actually has a stapler that will punch through metal. I bet he would have a tool Box it is the size of a small travel trailer.
@@AutoRestoMod Popeye forearms? Lol
merry Christmas n if ye get into the chardonnay n start playin charades er some such craziness stay happy n keep it between the ditches in the most important thing is the reason for the season/ Jesus is king
Amen! Could not agree more!
i have a 67 f250 but my lip for the splash shield doe not run in a straight line as shown on the video any suggestions?
1967 in both the truck and passenger car lines at for and Mercury are odd ducks. So many weird one year only things happened. Send me some pics to jford@autorestomod.com
Wonder if this can be done on the truck?
These are the inner fenders for our F100...so...yeah!
A couple years ago I asked you to cover splash shields on Classic Mustangs and you thought that would be a good Manic Mechanic episode but never did
The issue was that we didn't have a car that was at that point. I typically don't do splash shields until the car is done. The '67's were already finished, The Blue car was so far from paint (still is) that it would have been hard to justify, and Cam's car...well....
We shall now refer to Cam as "Jebediah"
HAHAHAHAHAHA. Yes. Or "He who has facial hair".
He has a body type for churning butter and raising barns. No offense. @@AutoRestoMod
What is a 20pound wire . What gage is it..?
I said pound I meant gauge.
Ok thanks..
20 or 25? In the video you said 25, in the comment you're saying 20.
Thanks
