c2 Mid year inner fenderwells 65-66 Identical?

[Tony DiGiorgio]

Hello all, can anyone tell me if the 65 and 66 inner fenderwells are identical in design? Working on 66 project car that has 65 hood, (65bb hood attatches on pass side, 66 attatches on driver side) wondering if I have to remove the inner fenders to get proper facotry appearance. your shared experiences welcomed.

No, they are not. The '65 inner fender is rounded on the pass side where the recess for the battery area/surge tank go. The '66 is squared off at that transition.

Hi Tony,
Everett Ogilivie wrote a great article in Volumn 29 # 4 (Spring 2003)of the NCRS Restorer on some very early vin # 1966 big block cars that had 1965 hoods and inter fender panels.

Yes this is an early car serial 1800 and it has both 65 hood and inner fender, wonder if it is early enough>

OH, But there are many more differences than that.
