Default Re: 71 nova fender to door gap

Yes just jack off the rocker Marlin right next to fender door gap. I always had a problem with fenders lining up with the door. Tight at top and a bigger gap at bottom. I was talking to a very wise man one day and he informed me how to get the front fenders to line up on a sub-frame car. Think about it with no front sheet metal on the car the only thing holding the sub-frame to the car is 4 rubber mounts. Now if your sub-frame mounting points are true you may not have to do this. But a lot of these cars where driven and beat on. So most sub-frames are bent or twisted one way or the other. So by just taking the weight off of the front of the sub-frame you will be amazed at how easily you get a good fender gap.
