moopa OP enthusiast Joined: Mar 2004 Posts: 375 An Island in the Pacific N.W.	I'm going to get two new AMD inner fenders. What is the difference between the 71 B Body and the 72 B Body? There two different part numbers, but I can't see the difference. Any way, I got epoxy on the firewall/cowl and on the front frame rails to protect them while I'm waiting for the new inners to arrive. 5760129-IMG_3030.JPG (65 downloads) 2015 TorRed Challenger Hellcat,A8 2013 Plum Crazy Challenger SRT8,6 Spd 2013 Black Challenger R/T Classic,auto (2)72 Satellites, one on hold,one under resto on the rotisserie.

Frame question [Re: moopa] #534098 01/25/10 10:59 PM 01/25/10 10:59 PM

moopa OP enthusiast Joined: Mar 2004 Posts: 375 An Island in the Pacific N.W.	Due to the fact that my inner fenders and rad support are bent up fairly bad,the door to fender gaps were really out of whack, and it looks like there's been some work on the front of the frame rails, I'm wondering if I should get this thing on a frame machine now before the new inner fenders are welded on, just in case there's some work that needs doing. Will a frame shop be able to get it nearly perfect( within spec) without re-mounting the outer front fenders, hood and header panel,etc? 5760151-IMG_3031.JPG (70 downloads) 2015 TorRed Challenger Hellcat,A8 2013 Plum Crazy Challenger SRT8,6 Spd 2013 Black Challenger R/T Classic,auto (2)72 Satellites, one on hold,one under resto on the rotisserie.

Once that piece is done, then the outer overlapping piece is next(should be easier)...Wish I knew what I was doing...it'd be alot less frustrating! Still struggling, done for the night...

I recommend doing that before welding the new inners on. Frame work is cheap really and then you'll know you won't have issues with it. Sheldon

Frame work is cheap really and then you'll know you won't have issues with it. Sheldon That's what I was thinking, too...get the frame work done first, that way it won't mess up the new inners. The only thing I was hoping to avoid is handling the fenders and hood too much, as I'm still trying to save the paint...likely a lost cause, now!! I'm thinking, there's now way to put them on and off a number of times,while tweaking the frame without screwing the paint up.
