Default Passenger Side Fender is coming home ( 03-24-22 )

( 03-24-22 ) I am finally bringing the passenger side fender home.



Thankfully I labeled every bag.





Me and ARP are really good friends.



(03-25-22) Here goes nothing





(03-26-22) Opps, I forgot to install the blower motor close out panels so off to Eastwood.








The originally DSE Closeout panel which I am not using has 5/16'' slots and the new one does not !!!! (( insert a ton of profanities here-))




So this sucks !!!

Apparently on the new panel I received from DSE the slots are way smaller and of course I already have 5/16 nutserts in the firewall and of course the panel is painted.



Luckily one hole lined up and I was able to locate all of the area's that need to be opened up.



I spent about an hour filing and test fitting.







Getting closer.



A little touch up paint.





A few feet of strip caulk.





Since four of the bolts are not visible I didn't use ARP bolts.



Fender is going back in hibernation since I want to tighten the bolts one more time before I install the fender.
