      Help My right Quarter is a Pain

      Im pulling my Fng hair out..

      I have measured so mnny ways I cant see straight...
      Right Quarter on a 69 camaro Imported repop

      My problem is that where the sail panel attatches to the drip rail is about 7/16" away from the drip rail..

      I thought it was due to a prev repair. the car was sectioned at the center of the wheel well to the middle of the rocker also they added a piece from center rocker to a pillar point.

      Anyways when I clamp the sail panel to the drip rail it pulls the top door gap to close. I can not adjust the door up any further or it will not be paralell with tthe rocker ( its allready tight at the front and loose at the back )

      Ive been playing with this for about 3 nights

      Everything seems to match the left side within 1/16" and I have measured so many ways including the door itself (the door is EXACTLY a twin of the left)

      WTF am I missing?

      I had the same problem on a 67 I did for a guy a few years back. The reproduction skins were not meeting up with the driprails, worse on one side, and worse towards the bottom.

      I ended up just adding a little piece of metal in there and skimming a little filler over it. I wasn't about to lose any sleep over it, and the car still looks awesome.

      Thanx for the replay..
      Im thinking of cutting it on the top line and adding a piece of metal myself...
      If I cut it along the line i need to cut it below as well to move it all forwards?

      Ive allready made a complete mess of my flushmount firewall install =(
      I guess Ill learn how to shrink metal
