Today’s subject is a 1978 Camaro z28. A local customer brought it in for some minor tlc and one issue was a poorly aligned passenger fender and hood. Hopefully this helps anyone in the same predicament. Like and subscribe. You can follow us on Facebook. Classic Pontiac Rescue LLC. Instagram Coorsbandit

That’s why I have over 30 hours of welding and grinding gaps in my car. I’ve never seen one that didn’t fit like shit from the factory, shims and adjusting only get you so far.

I'm glad I found your channel. I'm having very similar issues on a 64 Chevelle that I'm working on. On the underside of the hood (the edge) of this Chevelle seems to be touching the inside of the fender causing it to stay raised. Would you have any suggestions. I wish I could insert a picture. I'd really like to contact you but I don't want to be a bother. Any help is greatly appreciated!

I have loosen the three bolts to where they are about out. And it won't budge. It tight up against my door so it is chipping the paint like you are talking but the fender will not pull forwards any other tips. Thanks

Can you adjust the front fenders out so they fit better to the rubber bumper?
@coorsbandit5212
@coorsbandit5212 Жыл бұрын
The fender needs to be adjusted to the door, the bumper needs to come back to the fender vs the fender going to the nose. Proper alignment starts at the door to quarter jamb then moved forward to the nose.

You guys think sagging doors would cause a big problem too? I’m putting in new door pins and bushing soon

In theory it could but if the striker is in it's proper position, when the door is closed the striker should have the door basically where it's supposed to be.

How much do you think something like this would cost to fix more or less if you take it in? Just the front of my car needs to be realigned.

What do I need to do I have a 1974 Camaro and my hood is lined up well in each corner however it’s high towards the back and isn’t flush with the fenders. The hood hinges are adjusted all the way down. What do I do?

From what I've heard, if the hood hinge springs are worn it'll cause this issue.

raise the front part of the hinge on both sides when you raise the front it lowers the rear
