I agree with you on the original fenders. That's the only way to go man.
I'm making an attempt to use all GM sheetmetal on my project. What a pain.
Your 100% right. Lesson learned. The aftermarket sheet metal isn't the same. I haven't come this far to make the most noticeable thing (body) be my biggest mistake. If the paint and body don't come out near perfect It would be even harder to finish the build. I am hoping the original fenders will help align the front clip. Right now the body lines don't match the doors and I am not happy with it. If I have to replace all of the aftermarket sheet metal with original then that's what I'm doing. Almost wishing I stuck with the GMC clip but still love the slant noses. Good luck on your build and looking forward to seeing it complete.
