john hess Posted July 29, 2018 Share Posted July 29, 2018 Iam looking for a splash guard for my 53 l8 Pontiac. The one I need is located on the right side of the frame just below and slightly forward of the trans cross member. This is a 3 speed manual trans by the way. I believe it would have 4 mounting holes and a curved area that extends slightly under the exhaust and ends just before hitting the oil pan. The dimensions are roughly 16 x18. I have only seen one in a photo and it was not a good one. If anyone can confirm this with a picture of one I would appreciate it. The search is on for this is, I believe, the only piece missing in my parts that I have been collecting. ... John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
john hess Posted July 29, 2018 Author Share Posted July 29, 2018 I just used some Upol Raptor bed liner on the underbody of my 53 pontiac. I think it came out pretty well. Any one else ever use this product ?.. Hope to be putting body back on frame soon. Product says to cure 3-5 days before use but this is not a truck bed !! Getting anxious anyway.....

john hess Posted August 2, 2018 Author Share Posted August 2, 2018 Thanks . Firewall needs paint now, but it's raining again. I'm about 30 miles south of Hershey and we're getting more rain. Kinda tough to work in the leaky barn !! At least the liner will be cured. John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PONTIAC1953 Posted August 3, 2018 Share Posted August 3, 2018 which body style are you restoring ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
john hess Posted August 3, 2018 Author Share Posted August 3, 2018 It's a 2569wd paint code 5307. Hi Charles. I have been following your restoration also. Since you are here, would you happen to have any headlight trim rings ? Mine are in rough shape. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
