looks like the normal "somebody jacked the car up at the fender mount". check underneath where the fender mounts. it is slightly adjustable. if the metal mount is bent, you can bend it in place with a hammer or whatever tools you prefer.

the only part that is jacked out about 1/4 of a inch is the bottom 8-10 inches of the fender

mines bent toward the outside of the car, it pinched the fender tab between it and the bottom of the body. so if i use a pry-bar or a pickle fork i will be prying against the fender

Dam I never realized I'm sure this is why my drivers side fender sticks out more than the door I'n fact I'm probably the one who jacked it up! lol Now I know better and it will be fixed tomorrow, Sweet! Thanks guys!
im glad this thread is here. i started mine a while ago, and it didnt stick like this. now we can get all of the Fbodies on tech to look right. 
you should be able to get a flathead under it to start it. im not sure whats so hard about reading directions, it shows you what point to put the jack under...theres even a cutout in the side rail for the factory jack.
