nice work Bam. gonna be great looking at the shine from those fenders while cruising this summer.
I assume the triangle piece is a reinforcement as well. When you got a V8, the radiator was moved rearward and the core support was bolted further back in the recess. Picture the core support just being slid back. Looks like on these inner fenders the rear holes have been filled. You would need something more than some thin sheet metal to hold it all in place. The forward position has a lot of items converging at the top corner to supply the support.
