    71 cuda frt fender stud/bolt location

    I figured that was the case. Another thing, in my searches I haven't found much on shimming, some mentions with trying to compensate for factory fiberglass hood bowing but no pics of how it was done. Shimming would obviously create a space in between the mounting surfaces so I would imagine a...

    Thanks for the warm welcome everyone! Compared to what I see other guys doing with badly rusted cars, mine is a cake walk.

You would think if it was bad later date body shop work, they would have at least cleaned up sealer globs a little better out of embarrassment. I can see that glob work happening on the assembly line...

    71 cuda frt fender stud/bolt location

    So, this is not factory? I'm curious about this because of the globs of sealer and what appears to be a fender shimmed up for hood alignment. A problem I'm currently working with on my 71 Challenger, hood is about an 1/8" higher in the middle of the fender top.
