Those who have followed my build thread know that I am trying to remount the front right fender after replacing the front half of the inner fender with headlight box, and straightening the right end of the front panel. The front of the outer fender itself had been bent and fixed--and bent again. Thus I have no undamaged straight panel in the mix for reference. You can see lots of photos on that thread.
My first misfit challenge is front-rear position. When I set the panel so the door opening on the right matches the left side, I think I am close to fitting where the fender meets the front panel and headlight box. If anything, the fender could go forward just a bit. But the fender also looks too far forward, relative to the A-pillar inside and out. But, but the little pokey rear end of the fender top (by the base of the windshield) looks like the fender should shift forward. Any suggestions? Attached thumbnail(s)
