Inner fender/wheel well question

Posts : 4294 Join date : 2009-12-16

Does anybody know for sure if 94-96 RMS inner fenders are the same or different than wagons or caprices? The reason I ask is the different arch of the flatter RMS opening on the fender. Kind of a noob question, but bear with me Wink

Not sure but I have a wagon inner fender that certainly didnt fit a fleetwood haha.

Sedan and wagons are different.

Do you have a good drivers side inner? I have a real nice wagon drivers side I'd trade!

Yes. I actually have a full mint set of inners from an RMS. They were SEMd gloss black, kinda by Justin (who I got them from).

If you're able to trade a set for a set. Any chance you have a RMW front bumper cover?

I only have the drivers inner fender. Never had a wagon but I got it as part of the deal on a fleetwood I sold. I stupidly assumed it would fit.

Conversely I know a place to get a set for 100 pulled.

I'd rather trade set for set if I could. I've already got other parts out there on hold for my swap. So $100 for inners without seeing them is a no go at the present time.

I will take pictures and send them to you next time I see the car!

But I do have the drivers side in great shape. Do you have real 9c1 caps? I'd trade for those as my crashmaster still has 9c1 wheels with no caps. Granted I never really looked for them...

I DO have an "extra" set of 9C1 caps.

I believe RMW and Caprice inners are the same, but the RMS is a different animal

Sure. I've got 2 extra sets. One set is painted black at the base instead of the silverish coating. I bought them like that. It'll come off and shine real nice with steel wool. I have another set of them bit one is an aftermarket ABS plastic replica. Fooled me. Look at my "new (to me) RMS" thread. I think I have the black ones pictured in there.

Caprice sedan / caprice wagon / roadmaster wagon : SAME

Cadillac fleetwood : By itself

Roadmaster sedan : (I believe) by itself

91-93 will physically fit in the 94-96 BUT are completely different as far as mounting surfaces and holes.

I was just at WF, there was a guy who was selling a pair of wheel wells. Someone right away said one of them is for a sedan. There was obvious differences. I just assumed all B sedans wouldn't fit, maybe Caprices are the same as the wagons. He ended up throwing it in the dumpster as none of the wagon guys wanted it.

The one guy that would know beyond the shadow of a doubt, is Fred Kiehl the parts guy. I will ask him.

Caprice sedan/Caprice wagon/OCC/Impala SS/Roadmaster WAGONS all have the same inner fender SHAPE. Only difference is TBI and LT1's have different accessory holes.

Roadmaster sedans have their own shape. Again, only difference is accessory holes.

No clue on the fleetwoods.

Sent a email to Fred Kiehl, this is his answer:

Wheelhouses for all Caprice sedans and all wagons are the same.
Roadmaster sedan only fits nothing else. (can be made to fit Caprice/wagon with some massaging)
FW only, much different
91-93 same accessory mounts, different from 94-96
94-96 same accessory mounts

Indy gets the star!

When I first read Toms comment I knew we talking about RMS's but then the "sedan" statement had me wondering.
