1970 Chevelle Part 10 Installing The Fender

This video shows everything I had to do to make the fender fit correctly on the 1970 Chevelle. This was typical of most cars from that era in dealing with the poor fit of new or replacement parts. Adding shims was how the factory did it and they always used plenty of them.

A lot of tedious work to get that fender installed properly, but it came out great! I am extremely happy Greg!!

Thanks for the explanation. What brand fender is that? I bought a pair for my '70 from AMD, the drivers side fit perfect, you would almost swear it was OEM. The passenger side is a different story. I was never able to get that bolt behind the door in even after I hogged out the hole and the gap is still not to where I like it.

The owner of the car said the fenders were with the car when he bought it so not sure. The inner fenders were from CY Chevy Industrials so they may be the same. Thanks for watching

What a beauty! Is that light silver with a red or orange pin stripe?

[@autobodytrainingsolutions838]

It’s actually gray primer. No stripes

Sorry I commented by accident on your build.

Your gaps will make or break your paint job
