First off....this is my first build (69 chevelle), and am in no way well versed in the paint and body industry.
My plan is to line body panels, prime/sand, and pull from frame, powdercoat frame, paint parts (seperate), and reassemble.
I've got the doors lined up and am trying to aline fenders...here lies the problem. I have to "stretch open" the fenders(with shims) for them to have the same contour with the doors. I'm afraid after I prime/sand/prep for paint and remove the fenders from the car they will "pull" back to original form....then in re-assembly (after paint) afraid of paint cracking, because of stretching back open????
Any advise will help. Thanks!
