Headlight Door Fitment Issues
« on: May 23, 2016 - 07:05:04 PM »
Has anyone had fitment issues with aftermarket 70 Challenger headlight doors? If so how do you make them fit short of taking a rubber mallet ?to them. I just don't have the fineness or patience I had in my younger years. The pictures tell the tail.

What's the story on the fenders ? Were there lots of repairs in the area or are the new aftermarket fenders ?

The fenders look too "square" to me :2cents:

No Alan, these are the fenders that have been on the car when I got in '79  and were not in bad shape.  The old doors fit the fender well but were in poor shape. Of course I have gotten rid of them so I can't compare them. Not smart I know. I have tried to push and tweak as much as I dare.
