Re: 1970 fender lip notches

I'm confused. Does anyone have a picture of these notches and also of their location on the fender? I reached under both of my fenders for the first time and to my shagrin I think I may have felt some filler undreneath, but no notches. I'm not sure if I'm looking in the right spot though.

The notches are where Reba stated. The second one toward the door is only a inch long & half the width of the lip with radiuses like the other one. Hope it helps.

Re: 1970 fender lip notches

Don't be shy Ken. Just reach up there and feel for them notches. You will be amazed at the results.

Thanks for the encouragement. I did it but waited to do it in the privacy of my garage with the lights out of course.

I have it on my list for the AJS at the National, but you will have to wait until Wednesday or Thursday. If they let me near the Bowtie Judging on Tuesday, I will try, but they usually shag us lookie-lous away so they can do their job(s).

WTG Ken -- that will get you to home base every time. You should get out more -- on the Canadian Road Tour (don't ask how I got hooked up this them Canucks, eh) Scott offered us the chance to watch submarine races as the sun set over Lake Erie. You took up shelter in that arid southwest and are missing all the fun. Mike Johnson came out to play, you should too.

There are photos of my car in the link in my signature. Included are photos of the notches.

Patrick, thanks. Those pictures are just what I was looking for. I'll check it out tonight when I get home. Terry, if you take pictures, could you post them also?

The two Warbonnet pictures are from different cars. Ken, go to your car with a light and look up under its skirt, and see what you see. You have an expedition to do.

NO MAS I have 3 1970's now. All have/had original paint when I bought them. The lips on mine look like the maroon Corvette pict. with the F 60-15 tire or was that a pict. of a Camaro fender?

You had to pick the one I have questions about myself. That was a 1968 or 1969 all were in for Bowtie judging. I am not sure how it did -- or for that matter I am not sure how any of the others did either.

The first pict. doesn't look right to me. Too rough & jagged to be molded that way.

I am not sure they were molded in Ken. I think the fender may have been trimmed to produce those notches after it comes out of the mold.

Ballard recently Told me the notches were a locator for the fixture at the plant that installed the front end assembly

Thought the same thing. I've never seen notches so jagged. But I haven't seen a fraction of the Vettes you guys have.

I thought I had heard this as well from a respected source.
