Fitting the outer wheelhouse sections, the biggest problem with the repro outers is that the rolled lip doesn't match the quarters, and they will not "nest" together correctly...
So over to the shrinker stretcher - stretch the lip and then use a dolly and hammer and correct the shape, the ends are entirely malformed... thus it takes a bit more work to correct- including cutting and welding. The photos just do not really show in detail the mods needed to correct the parts... The trunk drops also have too long of a lower edge and the notch is in the wrong place....
