This is the first test-fit of the driver's side fender to see how the pick up points of the mounts will line up. All of this was already done when the car was in primer so the panels should fall in pretty close.

He is Joe diving for the lower mount and shimming it to match the door lines and ensure smooth operation of the door.

Here we have added the grille and header panel. The best way to do this is to have three people, one to hold, one to align and one to snug the bolts. Don't tighten any of the mounting bolts yet as it needs to get fit to the fenders first.

Here it seems to be shaping up pretty well. The read doors are lining up good with an even, tight gap between them and the door. The grill is provding a reference to space the front so all is going smooth.

Now that is a door gap to be proud of! This is what you a re going for when aligning your panels. The gap is supposed to be about the thickness of a paint stir stick and even all around.
