front inner fender fitment question

Does the front inner fender have some adjustment? I needs to align with the holes on my fender.

Re: front inner fender fitment question

Body parts often need a little adjustment to fit. Be aware that there are two inner fender styles. One for 73-80 and a different one for 81-87. The styles can be made to fit on the other style but you will likely have to add a hole or two to the inner fender. At least in fitting a newer inner on a 75.

Re: front inner fender fitment question

I'm replacing my rocker. I have a new OEM GM fender. I'm using my original inner fender. I'm less concerned about the fender fitment and I'm trying to get the door fitment right with the rocker. I then put my fender on and I see that the holes are not aligning with the inner fender. I have not tried to loosen my inner fender.

I just recently replaced drivers fender with used dent less fender. I used a screwdriver to line up holes in fender and wheel well. I had a heck of time getting the used fender to match up to the radiator support as well.

That is my concern. Did you try loosening the inner fender to see if it could be adjusted?
