Ended up spinning my wheels in the garage today, (not in a good way) and didn't get much done. I wanted to get the fenders installed on the '80 and my friend came up to help so as not to scratch anything. After setting the driver fender in place we decided the door needed to come forward a little. The gaps opened up a little more than I would have liked but it's no worse than it was to begin with. I think anyhow.
Then we looked at the radiator support and the front of the fender was way high above the bolt holes. We built it up 2"s plus the body bushing to work. Looking back I don't recall ever buying Radiator Support Bushings, I just assumed (bad) that body bushings were the same item? I bought all the rubber body mounts from GM way back when and used them all for the body and radiator support. Best I can tell the body is set flat on the chassis and not running uphill back to front causing the fender to run so high. Does anybodies radiator support sit up high like this?
