Re: Crash's 72 K10

I'm surprised you were able to get as good a fit as you did with the reproduction doors and fenders. Looks good. FYI, thefront edge of the door has a bit of a curl inward normally so it is usually in a small amount from the edge of the fender. I think it is to keep from rubbing when you open the door. All of the OEM ones I've seen are like that. Maybe that is causing some of the door to fender profile difference you see. Sometimes you can get the rear edge of the fender flatter by having someone push in on that middle section while you tighten the bottom bolt to put some tension in the panel.The top bolts would need to by tight so the lines match up. You might need to open that hole up a bit on the cab part so the bolt will go low enough. It's worth a shot anyway.
