Hello fellow stovebolters, on my 1950 3100
my fender to fender width, (ie; between the fenders where the grill assembly goes), seems like it is about 1 inch wider than my grill to fender mounting width. It looks like it is right around 48". I am assemling the frontend sheetmetal from scratch. Hood to cowl and hood to fender gaps seem good. Where did I go wrong? I havn't tried it but it seems like if I pull the fenders in that much I will screw everything else up.

Any suggetions?

Thanks for any help.

Start with the radiator frame and inner fenders- that is what determines the fender to fender spacing. Do you have an original or aftermarket grille? Is your grille assembled correctly? The bars are tapered.
