Last one finally !!!, you can see that a regular Z fender has to be trimmed in order to fit the box frame that has been added to the convertible. I did trim off about 5 inches so that it will set down where it needs to be. Thanks for being patient.

So this special bracket....where does it mount up? Does it just bolt the bottom of the fender to the vert bracing ? TPI383, if you could post them up that would rule !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I just had to replace the drivers fender on my vert and the body shop took the "modified" bracket off my old fender and welded it onto the the fender off a coupe.

It lined up perfectly. They did have to do some cutting, but you can make a coupe fender work on a vert.

ASC did a chop shop job on the verts and any body shop can do the same.

I pulled the panels off the rear one time to install new speakers.... and the left side of the car has different bracing that that of the right hand side of the car, and a nasty weld job ta boot.
