I also took the fenders (old and new) down to the shop today...... the NOS fender and the new old fender needed some trim holes put in.......Trying to figure out how to position them correctly from the Factory Assembly manual is quite the project.......I'm sure it makes sense to someone....LOL....Heres the page from the manual with the Dim's.....



So............How to do this and get all the seperate letters to be in the right place.......I took the old fender and measured where the first and last holes were relative to the crease and door side opening......




And.....Since I was going to trash the fenders anyway.....I got the Plasma Cutter out.....and got down to bare metal.......The layers of paint were just like reading tree rings



Cut the pattern out of the old fender.....



Measured and drilled one of the holes in the new fender.....It just so happened that the holes size allowed me to screw in a 8-32 screw.....tighten up the one screw.....positioned the other hole, drilled it thru and added the second screw......now I had a drill jig for drilling the other holes in position and to the correct size









Look how thick the "ORIGINAL Survivor" paint is on the old fender.....LOL
