Hi all,

Hoping to get a measurement from 2nd gens please - Looking at the gap between the top of the door and the A pillar. I'm trying to line up the fender but not sure if the door is too low. I've already forgotten what the caliper gauge said but i think it was about 9mm

This is the bit i mean:

Hi Ray..

Mine's 12mm drivers side, 9mm passenger side... (but the panel fit on mine is shocking cos' of all the action it gets.. :roll: )

I'm sure I read on Nasty Z28 about hanging panels that your supposed line the door with the rear quarter and sill, then mount the front wing against the door etc...

Hi Ray, as Stu says always gap from the 1/4 panel/sills to the door as the 1/4 & sills are fixed & constant. Make sure that the swage line that runs down the centre of the door lines up with the one on the 1/4. The gap to the sill is normally around 7 mm or so. The gap between door & 1/4 would also be around 7-8 mm hth

cheers...Nige
