Fender Replacement

Post by Joe Kriston »

Ok,my new fender has been painted and I need to replace the old one with it...I guess my question is more about aligning it....I knew you get all of the bolts started before tightening them,but is there a starting point where you align it with the hood,door and so forth?
This is the point...I'm....talking about everybody! I'm talking about form! I'm talking about content! I'm talking about interrelationships! I'm talking about God, the devil, hell, heaven!!!! Do you understand???? Finally!!!!

As long as you door is aligned properly start form there and work your way forward. Just hang it loose and start getting your gap right on your door top to bottom and then work with your hood gap. May take awhile but be patient. Also take some good quality masking and tape the edge of your fender, hood, and door to keep from skinning them.
