I'm guessing somebody doesn't like the way the repop fender fits to the door. He's gonna do a fenderectomy :superhack:

I'd say your going for more airflow. The brakes will cool fine with that mod IMO, but i really think your going after cooling the coils as they bounce up and down (kinda like the mattress in your master bed):peepwall:

Was kinda doin the same thing, can't leave well enough alone

Ding ding ding!! Yup but it was at the back of the hood that lined up real bad, the hood was almost an inch up from the back of the fender. The line to the door was to bad; workable any. Plus this way the inner structure of the org gets to stay. It's not even close to the org.

Air saw :superhack: and spot weld drill, but not crazy (well maybe the guy running it) easiest way to it fix the issue in the end.

So the fender didn't line well to the hood, so it was either drill out all the spot welds at the top of the A/M fender and try to over it up and move the cage nuts down for the hood hinge or just use the front of the A/M fender as a patch panel :superhack: so as you can see which idea won, this will be the easiest fix in the end.

I also get to keep my org inner structure of the fender which the A/M doesn't look anything like:EmoteClueless: and I get a much better fitting fender. I should be all wrapped up with this part by next weekend. Then it's on to the rear end of the car!!!

More of this :superhack: to come!!

I also have another complete car with NOS Fenders, and a boat load of Carbon fiber pieces for a 2nd gen.

Plus I have a 67 Camaro, with about 10 grand of Anvil Carbon fiber stuff, 24 Trailer.... $10,000 takes the 1st gen and we would have to talk about the 2nd gen.
