Need some help here. I have a 1975 nova and i replaced the radiator core support. Unfortunately i had to remove the drivers side fender, and really loosen the passenger side one to get it in. I got the fender on but it doesnt look the best. I can open the doors but the gaps really are not that good. The passenger side door is decent but the drivers side door is really tight. I can open and close the door but i have to be careful.

I have the shims that fell out but i wound up with extras which obviously isnt good since before i did this all the gaps were pretty good. Anyone out there who has tips, tricks, advice on lining up fenders would be a savior right now. I really do not want to have to take it to a body shop and pay someone to line then up although i may have to go that route if i cant do it myself.

I am most worried about my drivers side door gap. It is so tight now, i already took paint off accidently doing this that now i will fix

Sounds like those extra shims came from the drivers side fender. Might need some at the top and bottom mounting bolts next to the firewall.

IF YA GOT EXTRA SHIMS, THAT'S NOT GOOD, BUT DON'T WORRY SNS IS HERE! :yes: MAKE A SHIM COUNT ON THE PASSENGER SIDE AND THE SAME FOR THE DRIVER AND WHAT'S LEFTOVER! THEN LOCATE THE MISSING SHIMS IN THE DRIVER SIDE
