You often have to give up a perfect fit somewhere to get a really bad fit "acceptable" somewhere else. Now, it looks like you have a repro fender, that can change everything. You often have to do a country western line dance to get all this stuff working.

It looks to me like the fender is too low and both the fender and the hood could go up. But the photos are a bit funky too.

Check out this "Basics of Basics" on taking photos and looking at something like this. http://www.hotrodders.com/forum/basi...it-499546.html

Thanks Brain , I agree with you with everything you said. These aftermarket fenders have fought me all the way and looks to more to come. The fenders may look like they need to Go down but it’s the stamping when they made these aftermarket fenders. You actually have to cut out about 1/4 strip and bring the top of the fender down to where it’s a good fit to the hood. And still have to work the fender to get an even parallel gap.I would not go aftermarket fenders again in the future but thank you for you advice. I’ll let you all know how it turns out in a week or two
