69 bronco door pillar replacement

unklslam41 · Dec 2, 2019

i have replaced the driver side door pillar, kick panel and inner fender thus far. i have not welded the pillar in only screwed temporarily and a tack weld at window. the door fits great in the opening and gap looks good. my problem is when i put the front fender on the door and fender are touching there is no gap. i also replaced body mounts before starting the build. any ideas on how i can get the gap i need between the door and the fender

Original fenders or new?

The one thing I have learned so far is that the new parts need a lot of massaging, even when mixed with originals. There is a show on TV right now that they are building a Bronco. The amount of slide hammer tweaking is an indicator of how much tweaking you need to do to get gaps to look good. there may be a slide hammer in your future!

When did you purchase the door post. I think it was pretty common for those to have the wrong dimensions on the spreader pieces in between the front and rear panels a while back, so like mentioned you might have to do some cutting/tweaking.
