Clink on the 'SS' link at the upper right corner of your screen, Ground Up the site sponser sells them. Most other resto places sell them as well.

I see metal ones in their catalog, but not plastic.

The 70-72 plastic inner fenders are not the same as the 68-69.
They have a large lip where the rubber flaps attach. 68-69 do not.
Come to think of it, I have never seen plastic inner fenders on a 68.
I'll bet 69 plastic inner fenders are one year only.

It should also be noted that 68 will have holes for the front signal light wires to go thru, (using a grommet).
Also, 1968 Chevelles with A/C will have a double hole(also with a special grommet) for the A/C lines, from the condenser to the compressor, to go thru on the pass side.

Plastic inner fenders for the 1969 Chevelle are made out of unobtainium.

I learned something there, I didn't know that the A/C discharge line went though the inner fender.
I thought it went through the core support.

I replaced the plastic inner fenders on my 69 with metal ones.

The paddock has them but they are poor quality. Some of the holes were half an inch to one inch off. Trust me I know!

That's why I haven't had my right side powdercoated yet, I'll have to discharge the A/C & remove the hoses to take it out. :mad:

Who says you can't teach an old dog new tricks.

1969 A/C lines go thru the core support.
1968 goes thru the inner fender.
This makes 1968 Chevelle RH inner fenders specific for A/C.

Several years ago I watched a pair of 1969 NOS plastic inner fenders go on eBay for big $$$.
I have yet to see another pair.
