Anybody know what the door to fender gap is on a 68 Roadrunner? Thanks

I don't have my car here to measure, but it is pretty wide.
Here is a picture. This car has never been apart (fenders or doors) and never had a front end hit.

Side view.

There is no set dimension. Just get a nice consistant spacing between the quater panel/door, rocker panel/door, and the fender/door.

Even the cowl to fender area gets the 1/4" gap treatment, sometimes with 2 nd gen B bodies, panel alignment can be fustrating, it's even worse for someone who has painted a vehicle disasembled, and trying to reassemble it, best to set gaps on panels, leaving them in place prior to painting, as it seems you can never acheive that initial fit, after removing the panel,....if unifom gaps are your goal, you may/will find yourself doing some creative metal work to obtain the gaps you desire,....don't use bondo on edges to create gaps, it will only come back to haunt you later!,....generaly after the cars painted!

Here's a good shot of a 1/4" door gap on my own personal car, measuring actually 3/16" after paint,....again anything tighter in the fender/door opening you could have contact between the panels, esp at the upper door/cowl/fender opening point

3/16 about the thickness of a good paintstick.

After trying to find the same answer, I went with a little under .250 and it wound up at about 7/32ths. (.200 or so)
I am not in paint yet but I think it should be good.
