Hello everyone. New member here but long term car guy on this end.
Any insight into the odd situation below would be much appreciated.
I’m in the process of installing an AMD supplied quarter panel on the driver side of my 69 Charger. First one for me.
Everything fit pretty well until I checked the wheel well and found the edge of the panel at least an inch below the lip of the outer wheel well at the top and back of the wheel well. The fit is good at the front of the wheel well. The pillar fit is good along with the tail panel and the rear window. The outer wheel well has original and patched lips, but both have similar overhangs.
The body lines look good and are lined up.
Thought I was good to tech screw it together when I noticed the overhang.
Texas is 100-deg today so I stopped and thought I’d pose a few questions to the forum before proceeding.
- Has this issue been seen before?
- How was it handled? I really don’t want to bend or cut the original wheel well or the new panel. Everything looks nice on the outside.
- Could the AMD panel be off by 1-1/2”?
-Anything else I could check or try?
Thoughts or comments are greatly appreciated!
