I want to replace 67GTO drivers inner fenderwell
 
So without scratching it all up, & without removing fender, is it possible to replace my 67GTO inner fender well, mine from previous owner is dimpled up and dented badly.

Some may have figure out a way, but over 30+ years I've found it quicker and easier just to remove hood, bumper, fender, etc.

Can't be done without removing the fender, at least without taking a plasma cutter or torch and cutting up/ruining all manner of stuff including the fender.

Too funny. I must have done something wrong because I removed my front inner fender wells, had them powder coated and put them back in.

With the tires off and the car jacked up, remove all of the fasteners and rotate the inner fender wells to the rear and they come out.

Big Injun and connman if you are ever doing this anywhere near SE Texas please let me know I would like to come watch you do it.

you have to take the bottom bolt at the rear of the fender loose and tire off and suspension suspended for xtra room. it takes a little twisting and bending but it works. if you have ever changed a blower motor it is close to same procedure. jack the car way up in the air cause you need about 1 1/2 to 2 ft open space under the car to roll the fender out

I've done it but not without scratching things up!

I have dismantled and reassembled a '63 big car, dismantled '65 and '67 GTOs, helped reassemble a '64 GTO, and then dismantled '61 and '62 big cars and just can't imagine getting an inner fender out and back into any of them without pulling the fender off, hence my initial answer. I guess it is possible since three of you have now said it, but I know I couldn't do it without scratching the heck out of a bunch of stuff which would completely defeat my reason for pulling it out in the first place.
