I need to apply a barrier or inner fender to the El Camino front clip and several other fiberglass projects to prevent rocks coming off the tires and starring the body.
Some of them have very little room, so little that owners resort to just a thick undercoat.
I doubt undercoat really does the job and it is so ugly it offends me on a naturally rust-free fiberglass surface.
On the El Camino providing an exit for heat and under-hood pressure is also an issue.
My stray thought of the night is to use a fairly fine stainless or aluminum mesh, contoured to fit the underside of a wire or small diameter tube form.
Been done? If so, where and when?
Not as free flowing as just leaving off the inner fenders off, but seems like a reasonable answer.
Or I may just be a bit sleep deprived.
