Had a good gap...until the end near the Windsheild....Fiddled and tapped ...but not getting anywhere. So go out the air saw ...and made a slit....then removed a little more metal from the slit....then with a screwdriver ,make the gap I wanted and welded up the seam. Like new now. |

The pics don’t really show how far off that gap was.....but you get the picture

Yes. Looks good and should work well . I wish I could've done the same on my passenger side. Unfortunately, I bought the car apart and mostly painted. I put together and did all I could adjusting door, core support and fender and still closer than I'd like at that top point. If nothing ever moves, I won't chip paint.

That worked out nice.

Mine could use a little 'closing up' in that same area...but way past that point now.

I had to do that with my front valance panel. It didn't fit correctly where is meets the fenders and the lower grille openings were 1/4" larger than the chrome trim.

What car is that MUSLCAH? Looks like a '68-'70 A body. The gap I'm referring to on mine is in the exact same area. It never showed until a couple months ago when I finally got around to addressing some hood fitment issues. It eventually became obvious that I needed to go back to the doors and work forward to get everything lined up.
That passenger fender had to come forward a bit as part of that and when all was said and done, that gap is a little wider than it used to be...but the hood issues are much improved along with the door and quarter glass so I'll take the tradeoff. |
