Inner vs Outer...It's a battle
 

Let me start by saying that I am using Goodmark front outer and inner fenders, so I know I am already at a disadvantage here.

I've put on the outer fenders several times in the build process with no problems, but I went to install the inners for the first time and had zero issues with the drivers side. Everything lined up and it bolted right in. The passenger side on the other hand has been a battle. I finally have it in, but I have three holes on the outer/inner lip that aren't even close. I have a small gap between the core support and the outer fender that will not close up due to the inner fender.

Do I have an incorrect inner or outer fender somehow? Am I just not holding my mouth right? Is this normal? What tricks can you tell me that I can see if I can get this thing to work? No idea how I will fight this B@$=@!* in there once it is painted.

I went through this on my '67 with a repop outer fender and original inner fender. The inner would NOT fit the outer unless serious mods were made. Decided at that point to check the fit of the hood, radiator support and grill surround. Good thing I checked, the hood gaps and grill surround fit was so bad I deemed the repop fenders unusable. Looking for originals now. You might want to mock up the rest of the front clip before proceed then decide.......

I've always found the best way to get inner fenders to fit was to install the inner/outer fender loosely together around the wheel well off the vehicle, get all the bolts started just short of hand tight, then install them together as one unit.

However, sometimes with aftermarket stuff, they just don't fit without some persuasion.

I remember when I installed my repop inners the DS fit pretty well and the PS refused to line up with the core support without a lot of persuasion.

It's a struggle with aftermarket parts! You can make it work with some work.
