Fender Placement

I am putting the fenders back on my 66 after a complete overhaul and was curious on how much of a gap between the fender and door is common. Any measurements would be greatly appreciated.

Ha. In an ideal world, maybe. That's not how mine came from the factory.

Re: Fender Placement

Hey I have it at 3/16" which is probably the closest it could ever get (of course now I have to make my own radiator support, but hey nothing is perfect). Anyone have advice on making the support?
