My air-cooled race car does not have inner fenders in the wheel wells and the fiberglass is getting damaged by kick up. The front is where it is really noticeable.

What solutions have you found to this problem? I was thinking about epoxying some type of medium density rubber (neoprene maybe) in the areas where the damage is occurring.

Thoughts? Suggestions?

Thanks!

This stuff is strong, kind of like a hard undercoat, and called "Stone Guard" so it may work! http://www.goodspeedmotoring.com/wur...ard-spray.html

I used the gray with a shutz gun to cover my 911 gas tank, worked great and veeeerrry tough.

pop rivet some sheet steel to the inside.

There was another thread on this topic recently with some good suggestions

We glued some foam up there and it works good. It was some stuff that guys with jet-skis use on the deck of their skis. much denser than something you'd find at a fabric store and lighter than something like neoprene.

How about something like a spray on bedliner? That stuff is really tough and easy to apply.

I haven't tried it, but I'd guess it's a lot denser than the foam, so might get heavy by the time you apply enough of it to be effective (assuming weight is a consideration)

Scott's not worried about weight anyway...his car is REALLY heavy.

Well, I don't want to add any more weight than I have to that high!

I had my CF fenders off and upside down. I took some light aluminum flashing and taped it in place leaving a few inches gap. I then injected some of the aerosol foam "gap sealer" from Lowes. It is a great adhesive and will hold the aluminum in place when it sets up. Don't overfill it, it expands like crazy. Total added weight was only a couple pounds. No problem for 10 years or so.

Mask off the area in question and apply a coat of "flex seal" (as seen on TV) simple light and about $12 bucks

I've used thin, 1/4" sheets of closed-cell neoprene foam with good results.
