Re: Fender Install
Please tell me these panels were trial fit before painting, please.
Please tell me they aren't reproduction panels, please!
If they are reproduction AND they weren't trial fit, FORGET installing them without damaging the paint.
That out of the way, the rad support looks like it's over to the right so first off loosen everything up, the rad support to the frame, the support rods that are going from the firewall to the fenders, those are VERY important to move the front sheet metal side to side.
Did you put the hood on first aligned to the cowl and then put the fenders? That is one way to do it, fit the hood to the cowl then fit the fenders to the hood.
But moving the front end over would be a start there. These front ends are very difficult under the best of circumstances so don't feel it's you, they are difficult. But if these parts weren't trail fit ON THIS FRAME before, you could be in for some real trouble.
