Trouble with D.S. outer fender
I'm hoping someone can help me out with a pic or two. Or just let me know if this is too far off. I have a feeling I might need to just start over with a better fender or cut this one even further.
I know I already messed up since my spot weld holes from my fender don't line up. I realized then that I cut in the wrong places for this repair. Where the hood spring attaches to is unlevel. It's actually twisted a bit. Not sure if I can just shim this? Since the overlap that gets spot welded is out where it needs to be (I think) the gap when the hood closed between that and the fender should still be okay. Is this going to affect anything? I'm also wondering if the fender line curves back toward the engine bay a little where the hood spring attaches. I'll post some pics. It's a little hard to explain this. I would just look at my passenger side, but that was is at the body shop getting primed. Here's a pic of the fender line. I guess I never noticed it before that it does a slight bend a few inches away from the point of attachment to the cab. It looks pretty good I think. Just never noticed it before. Wanting to make sure before I continue welding. |
