Inner fenders: Rhino Lined

[DirtyLarry]

Well, my ole Blue '78 K10 off road/camping/fishing beeatch sacrificed an inner fender on the last wheeling trip of the season so I ordered up a couple LMC inner fenders. Just as expected, the fenders arrived as Taiwanese paper thin re-pops. Being that ’73- ’80 inner fenders are no longer available through GM you pretty much have to tolerate this crap or painstakingly rework the originals which was not an option for me as my originals were pretty much beyond repair.

What to do with these onion skin thick inner fenders other than send them to the Rhino Lining shop to have them lined in hopes of adding more structural integrity as well the obvious protection of Rhino Lining.

$150 in Rhino Lining later, I finally got around to installing them tonight. They turned out pretty decent I think. Can’t wait to see how they do off road….I mean, cleaning them after being off road.

I also have Rhino Lining on the rocker panels all the way around the truck as well as in the bed. I had that done when I live in Detroit several years ago. Unfortunately, that job looks like the Rhino Lining installer was sipping 8 Ball and smoking crack when he applied it with soiled hot mop, which the installer nor Rhino would stand behind. Note to yourself if you live in the greater Detroit area…..NEVER use the Ziebart dealer on Woodward Ave in Royal Oak, MI to lay any Rhino on your ride. It is a wonder I would even give any Rhino installer .10 cents after that mess.

I have been very happy with the Rhino installer in Pueblo, CO though!
