First Generation Firebird-L Mailing List ......................................................................... Rusty, I am from Mechanicsburg, PA near carlisle. The problem with the fender is that it's an aftermarket piece that fits close to the hood in the front and at the cowl but in the middle, there is a large gap. I am afraid that it can't be adjusted but I am happy to pay if it can be done. http://www.flickr.com/photos/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/

Joel, The front fender, door, cowl and nose all adjust together. I had all my 1969 pieces painted and then did the assembly. If you get someone that knows Firebirds, they can adjust the heck out of things without painting. This part of the job is very time consuming and is the detail that makes the difference. Knowing what body shop and mechanic labor costs, I would say you got a good deal on the costs for the labor, but they either did not know how to put a Firebird together or they simply cut the corners to reduce the labor. Beautiful car and worth the effort to finish out the way you want it. Where are you from? Nowhere near Manhattan, KS, I guess...

Other shops tell me that if they repair the front fender, matching the paint will be next to impossible. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Submissions to Firebird-L: Unsubscribe from Firebird-L: Help: Classifieds: Owner Pictures: Donations: FGF Merchandise: --------------------------------- Looking for last minute shopping deals?
