The Stovebolt Site Forums The Shop Area Paint and Body Shop Front clip assembly 70' GMC

I had already gone ahead and mounted the fender and inner fender as one. I had to enlarge alot of holes so I could float the aftermarket panels around. I test fit the hood yesterday which is the only factory part of the entire front clip and it's fitting up surprisingly well. Biggest modification was to the fenders. They lined up with the door edge at the top and bottom and rocker panel well. But in the middle of the door they stuck out further. So I had to cut the bracing behind the fender so I could push the center of fender in to match the door contour and then welded the brace back up. Today I will test fit the grill assembly and the bumper. Once it's all worked out, disassemble it all and paint.
