Re: My 78 K15 High Sierra build - Fish Tremble

The driver side was a bear! Had to pull the fender and bend it over a post to get it concave enough to come close to matching the door contour. You can see where I had to beat on the upper door to get it to match the fender. Needed 4 shims in the door frame fender mount, and 2 shims at the bottom to get it out far enough. I think I got the contour nearly perfect now, but the door to fender gap tapers to nothing at the bottom. The door does open without binding, so maybe good enough???
