kip56 that looks like a new paint job. Nice! Let me ask you how you cleaned your fenders? Were they sandblasted Kip56? Were the fenders fit prior to painting,,, lets say while they were primer. This problem looks oh so familiar. I found it while my fenders were in primer and car painted. My guess is you had the fenders sandblasted that created heat and warped the fenders a little in to a curl. I don't know how much body filler or what kind of paint you have but don't start removing body shims. Lay down a piece of carpet or a rugand flip your fender or fenders on their painted sides and gently flatten them out a little at a time untill they fit. They just need to be stretched longer. Or if they were in primer you could of just set them on the concrete and with one foot on top and one on the bottom flatten them out till they fit. From that we learned always fit one last time before painting. Notice the primer feder in pic's......MidSouthern Restoration Cookeville TN
