Don"t laugh after reading the following.

Is there an after market seller, or manufacturer,  that offer front wheel well liners? I did a little research and found none. I am thinking it would be nice to have for the obvious reason. Even if it takes away from the originally somewhat.

Not to my knowledge. Chrysler actually made these for an option on 67-69 A-body Cudas though. I am not sure they offered them all years but they did offer them for that body style.

Are you only seeking rock protection? If so, I [and others] bedlined the inside of my fenders to protect against that.

The factory undercoated the inside of the front fenders and quarter panels for rock protection. The factory undercoating was sprayed very thick and dried pretty hard. That is all that should be needed.

So, is it practical, or necessary (to be on the safe side), to apply bed liner over undercoating? I know, I am going AR over this. I am doing my best to keep those rock pimples from showing up.

Unfortunately, I am currently 700 miles away from checking the underside of the front fenders.

it would be impracticable IMO to apply BL over UC, just do one or the other. the BL will be rock solid and very difficult to remove down the road if you (or the next owner) decides to. UC while a PITA to remove, can be. if a few coats of UC are applied it will give you the same protection. BL is MUCH easier to clean and keep looking nice compared to UC. a few thoughts to keep you entertained
Growing older is mandatory...growing up is optional.

Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind.

It depends on what's on the car. Some undercoating is thin and rubbery. You need something like the factory used for the best protection. A bed liner would fit that bill, it just doesn't look stock. I don't know if it can be...should be sprayed on top of factory undercoating.

Appreciate the suggestions! Now I just need to find my way home to check it out!
