Tips on lining up front fenders? Does any one have any tips of lining up the driver side front fender. I got it pretty close but it rubs at the bottom every so slightly when the door is being opened. The tab under the car was beat up pretty bad but i think i got it straitened out. Maybe is their a sequence to tightening the bolts. Thanks for any help

I don't know if it's any help but where the passenger front fender bolts to on the bottom was crushed when those ******** put in my new transmission in and threw the alignment of it off so I had to pound out the holes and one was cracked in half so I just used a washer to hold it all together and it's been fine ever since. Maybe try to loosen it and bolt it back up and see if that helps.
Yup, same with my car. That piece of metal under the front fender was mangled....along with the fender tab, and the door rubbed against the fender. I straightened out the metal tab as best I could and used big fender washers to hold the fender in place (since it's slightly deformed down there now)....it took some bending of that tab, and some hole enlarging on the fender tab.....but I got it lined up nice now.
