Fender Problem

On my '87 IROC Camaro my passenger side fender sort of sticks out. Like for instance I know it has been in a small accident before. So when the previous owner replaced the parts the running board is a little off line and there is about a quarter inch gap between the fender and the door. How do I fix it so that everything is flush like it is supposed to be?

Re: Fender Problem

Your cars were jacked up incorrectly. Camaro's dont have a frame so the floor of the car is critical in body alignment. If the car was jacked up in the wrong spot the floor will actually bend and will affect your quarter panel alignment. There is a way to fix at the pinch weld.

Send a PM to 1piece@atime if you have questions about how to fix--he fixed my car and works at a bodyshop...He's an expert IMO
