Good idea but I can't really raise the fender at the cowl any higher. The fender bolt to firewall is maxed out at the bottom of the bolt hole in the fender. I might be able to cram a 1/16" shim in there but no way a 1/8" would fit. I would have to ream out the hole in the fender to make that happen. Also, might end up having trouble with the door jamb fender bolt. Does anyone have a thickness measurement on their stock rad support bushing?
