How do you fix this??Repo body parts.
There has been a lot of foul language around my garage, regarding the junk repo body parts I have bought. I bought everything new, rad support, inner and outer fenders, and front header panel. In trying to assemble them on the floor, like a front clip, I found most of it wouldn't bolt together at all. Hmmm. In comparing the rad support to the original, there were 5 or 6 things wrong. The repo was 3/8 inch too short from end to end, bends in the wrong places, weld nuts and holes nowhere near where they should be, the cross braces were misplaced, and others. I returned it, and tried another manufacturers, not much better. I returned it, and made repairs on an original. The rad support is very important that it be right. Inner and outer fenders, as well as front header panel bolt to it. Save your original at all costs. I have a bunch of pics of the headaches you might find. I'm not sure if I will get to where everything fits ok, but I have made several alterations already. Ohhh, how I wish the General still made these parts. These pics show how the front fenderis nowhere near attaching to the inner fender, close to 3/4 inch from having the rear holes from fender to inner fender lining up. Oh, these panels are all TriPlus, less the rad support which is in a scrap bin somewhere.
