Fender alignment?
I did a couple searches and read through all of the stickeys but had no luck. I have noticed that on my car (and a few other fourth gen F-bodys) that there is a "gap" between the body and fender towards the bottom where it meets the door. Is there any adjustment that im not seeing or is there abbigger problem? Any help is greatly appreciated.
(not my car but this is what im talking about)

also alot of people think that flange is a jacking point, ITS NOT!!! and will bend it, if its bent, there are 2 10mm bolts there, un bolt them and staighten the flange, and its best to heat the fender with a heat gun, (sometimes if the fender flange has been bent for a while, the fender will crack when u try to bolt it back up to the straighted flange and heating the fender will help with this) get good and warm but not too hot, if u dont have a heat gun, use a hairdryer, u may have to play with the location of the flange to get the gap right, I worked in the body shop of a Chevy dealer for 18yrs and seen this ALOT, If you have any more questions just ask.
