Stock Gaps : Fender Install

***TitaniumTT*** · 09-02-2009, 07:38 PM

Lining up an entire front end is going to be VERY tricky. Honestly Bill, I wouldn't worry to much about the gaps for now. I would start to really lock into them once you have a hood and a front bumper as well.

Actually, now that I think about it. If I were you I would bolt on a FACTORY hood and a FACTORY front bumper and then start messing around with the gaps. More than likely you are going to need to adjust the gap by adding or removing material front the fenders. Once you are happy with the fitment of the fenders, then more onto the hood or the nose but always doing one at a time.

Maybe Joe - Classic Auto - can chime in as he is way more experienced than I.

But that's what I would do, stock hood and nose to help align the fenders, then move onto the nose, finally the hood.
