I hung the sheet metal and wasn't very happy with the end result. Drivers side looked good but the pass side well lets just say I was ready to ratrod the truck. In the end I decided that the problem was that being the truck was in a house fire and the front pass side fender was burned real good that it got shrunk when the firemen turned the hose on the hot metal. Sounds kinda out there. The part that can't line up is between the cab to fender mount and the running board to fender mount. Its pulled away by 5/16ths of and inch in between these 2 points, instead of a straight line it has a bow. I did push ,pull and shove it trying to make it fit better but no way. Should have taken a pic to share. Stopped to see how my 283 block checked out at the engine shop and now its going to be a 283 + .060" , but at least its not cracked.
