Default 1972 Inner Fender Replacement

My 1972 corvette is in need of new inner fenders. My question is, can these be replaced with the front end on the car? I spent countless hours getting the front clip positioned and bonded and don't want to go through that again. Any thought on this?

Probably. Working area will be restricted, especially with the engine in the car. My advice would be to do one side at a time.

Default Imho,.....

Suggest you post in the Paint/Body section, might be a trick to get it in in one piece. I understand your reluctance to take the surround off too having glued in a hood surround. Dub and Porchdog can help.
