got a 70 standard, is it possible that the beam isnt centered? Passenger side tire is flush to the outside of the fender, yet driver is about an inch outside the fender. :| :| measurements from frame head to beam are off by about a 1/4 inch to the driver side. Measurements from top of tire to inner fenderwell are roughly an inch to the driverside, so that makes sense. But how? Ghetto style I could just space out the pass wheel, really dont wanna do that. :roll: anyone?

Didn't you replace a front fender and is it the same as the other?

could be that it has been hit up front. easy to tell just by measuring from different spots. also you could have aftermarket fenders as well.

yeah changed out fender with with an orig, measurements say the same on fenders. Wasn`t that bad of a hit though, all measurements from frame head to innerwells same. no creases in pan, frame head or any obvious areas. fender front quarter and apron took the brunt of it, uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh I dont know. :help: :help: :help:

what about the wheel offset ... flip them around and see if it follows.

That would be good... do you need bumpers? I live by Klein High School and will be working from home. Let me know.
