fatbuick Posted August 3, 2012 Share Posted August 3, 2012 A friend of mine has just restored his 65 and doesn't know where this part fits back. I can't say I've ever seen one on my car. Could it have been mistakingly sent from the powder coater from another car? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mt65riv Posted August 3, 2012 Share Posted August 3, 2012 Looks a lot like the lower splash shield under the core support at the inner fenderwell. You would know if it was missing on the car, though.Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Rob J Posted August 3, 2012 Share Posted August 3, 2012 (edited) That part mounts to the frame from inside the rear side of the front wheel wells. It acts as a splash shield. Let me see if I can dig up an old photo from before I took my car apart.Here you go, I found a pic. This is a pic of the passenger wheel well. There is one shield for each front wheel well.

alini Posted August 3, 2012 Share Posted August 3, 2012 I just went out and looked at my pile of parts, my car is stripped to the frame right now. I dont have one of those in the pile. I looked at my inner fenders and the splashshields I have in the pic are welded to the inner fenders and have no holes in them. I could be wrong but I dont think thats a 65 riviera part Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could be wrong but I dont think thats a 65 riviera partThis definitely is a 1965 Riviera part, as all three of my cars have these parts. This part attaches to the frame, not the inner fender well. There will be two holes in the frame, in which this part screws to with short sheet metal screws. See my pic above again.Also, here is my restored frame now. See the two screw holes to the left.

alini Posted August 3, 2012 Share Posted August 3, 2012 I stand corrected, I went back to the parts pile and I have those bagged because they are so small There was no size reference in the pic so I was picturing it being larger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest rsmalling Posted August 4, 2012 Share Posted August 4, 2012 yeah I have the same parts Im getting ready to put back on as well. Rob J,your car is looking great. I love the detail of your work. Its like a factory prototype. :cool: This definitely is a 1965 Riviera part, as all three of my cars have these parts. This part attaches to the frame, not the inner fender well.
