Dynacorn door fitment issues

[Naughty Bronc]

Ok guys this is a Dynacorn door. Everyone have these same issues? They do not want to own up to it and say they are all that way.

I will also be curious to see if anyone else has ran into this issue.

Looks like two issues I see, too large a gap and the body line misaligned, bent in the wrong place.

First question: are you using the correct '66 hinges? In '66 the hinges were thinner than the later models and would pull the door gap closer.

B. Who made the fender?

3. Do you have another door to compare?

X2 Which fender. How does the body line look at the rear?

Its not the doors its the fenders...Oval fenders suck! Its suppost to be the best on the market BS!

Lots of work to get to this point....But fits great now

But yours in a the opposite direction guess I got lucky my was too big and bent wrong....You'll have to cut it off and move it down to match lines and add material in the roll....Good luck.

Thx for the input guys. Dynacorn door and Blue oval on the fender. I am not too concerned with the gap as i can fix that. The problem lies with the body line mold. I put a square on all the fenders and doors at that area and everyone was within a 1/16" at the body line. The Door however is right on the money at the striker side and on the hinge side it grew 1/4" as you can see in the pictures. The hinges are factory originals i rebuilt just for mock up.

I first thought it was the fender but after the square test, the body line was right at 6" and that was the same as everything else on the bronco.

I have dynacorn doors and I believe that I have a similar issue and I have another issue that the cut out for the hinge wasn't deep enough and the door would bind against the hinge and not shut completely.

Exactly what i had issues with too. I did however find that Goodmark has bronco door shells too. BUT i really would like Dynacorn to own up to quality control issue and fix this.

My blue oval fender body lines are not straight. They're slightly arched up then down (I ran a string, then a laser down them). The distance from the top to my body line was too long, compared to yours which looks too short. The curve from the body line down is also more gradual than the factory curve on my factory door. Also I replaced both fenders, and the DS bottom bend at the rocker was 1/2 inch longer than the PS, and didn't follow the same curvature as the PS or the rocker. I'm just working them the best I can.

Kobaltblue - your gaps are amazingly close. I'm impressed but also concerned when you paint it. that the thickness of the primer, paint, and top coat will make them almost disappear and if the body flexes, you'll oyster the paint. actually I'm just jealous I couldn't get mine that close.

Thanks, Its got a 1/4 gap on two sides have to add some material to the back side to complete the fit,Oh I'm not worried about that it will never see dirt when its done...At lest as long as I own it...Shes going to live the good life ;D

My question is did you get the premium fender or the cheepo? there is 2 different ones you can get....But as I see it neither one is premium.

 

[Naughty Bronc]

@Kobalt, If your question was towards me the answer is yes. I paid for the "top" shelf stuff.

 

[KOBALTBLUE]

Do you have the original stuff? If so try putting on the fender and see how it matches the door...Or change the door to see if it matches the fender,,,,When I get my new parts (Any vehicle) I hung the fender first to be sure it was good and it showed right off the bat it was bad but was fixable, My doors did need the hinge part cut out some too but thats understandable thats up to you for the quality of fit but the fenders is down right wrong....Danacorn makes quality stuff my Camaro has almost all danacorn parts and they fit perfect.....I have done alot of different vehicles and most parts are hit and miss all depends on who made the part and if the vehicle has been messed with by the PO

My Bronco was suppose to of had the front floors put in by a "restorer" they were terrible but the PO had no idea how bad they were put in but he was happy with it ....I was not.... the only good part is I didnt pay much for it and it had some goodies done to it....Suxs but thats what you get with old cars and parts made in China....Its pretty bad when your hoping your parts come from Taiwan at least you know tell fit pretty good!

 

[Naughty Bronc]

Yeah i am going to play around with it before i make my decision as which direction i want to go with this. I put the old door on but it was hit so bad it is out of square but the body line was so close to being perfect. But the whole thing was out of square to the rest of the bronco.

Didn't know there was a difference so I'm not sure which one I got. Do you mind if I ask how you added material? I got good gaps all the way around, but the top edge of the rear quarter above the body line isn't square. It grows from a 1/4 inch at the body line to a 1/2 inch at the top. I thought about running a weld bead along it then grinding it to be 1/4 inch all the way, but I'm not really a super experienced body guy.

These problems are the reason I have not ordered any fenders or other body panels..... Great thread keep posting your results..

...180 bucks for a fender,, plus shipping,, and the body line is off. I would be angry.

 

[Naughty Bronc]

Or almost $500 for a door and its way off...lol! I just swapped around parts as they are in the shop and the original beat up fender is about an 1/8 from the new door, as i butt them to each other. And the beat up door is a about the same. But the two new parts are way off as you see here. I think i will call Duff and see if they can send me a Dynacorn fender and see how close it matches their door. I think that is the best and simplest way to go right now.

 

[Naughty Bronc]

So i how does the dynacorn fenders match to their doors? Im sure someone has had to buy the same 2 before??

 

[thepunisher]

Or fitting factory doors with dynacorn fenders? Sorry to but in...

 

[BoureeOne]

Interesting thread. I think my question is along the same lines. I will be reskinning one or both of my doors on my 66. I also have to buy front fenders. Would it be easiest to get fenders set up on rig, then skin the door to line up with the fenders?

Thanks
