The gap seems to look bigger than it is in the pics.
It cannot be much closer without biting when the door is opened.
It is wider in this area, we will have to do some metal work if
we are going to get that particular.
We have 3 more of these 72 El Caminos (one a factory SS)
and they are all a little different.
It might be because of the 69 Malibu doors.
The bottom of the left fender literally sprang back into
it's original shape after we cut the scrape iron out, (next pic).
Why they brazed a bent up pic of junk in here? They probably don't know.
The right fender we hope to use has a piece of scrape iron
in the same place. Note how it flares out at the wheel opening.
The 2 body lines here should be parallel.
The fender we hoped to use isn't looking to pretty good.
Note pile of bondo dust on the floor.
Personal opinion of the 72 El Camino front clip: "The grill and
headlights are frenched in and are beautiful. The signal lights look
like someones son-in-law needed a job, what a piece of crap."
This El Camino is going to be a pearl white, we are thinking about painting
the trim around the front signal lights the same color as the body.
We would like some opinions about the white paint on the
signal light trim.
