Inner fender drivers side Question?

The 74 Bronco I purchased had the drivers side apron and fender well missing. Now that I'm at the point to replace these on both sides, any measurements out there or tips would be helpful for the drivers side area. The passenger side is there but will be replaced. Are the measurements the same from the firewall on both sides?
Tks guys

mine was wrecked in the front when I got it. there was nothing to measure. I would recommend getting the doors to fit right against the rocker panels and rear quarter panels. then put all the front end components on. fenders, core support, grill and hood. put most of the bolts in. the aprons should also be bolted to the fenders. when the alignment is good, weld the aprons to kick panel and the core support. remove other body panels and finish welding.

Concur with SP, get the door situated, then use sheet metal screws to mock up the inner fender. Make sure you go through the pain of hanging the fender to check fitment with he door, hood, grill, etc. before you weld anything. The distance from the firewall to the core support should be about the same on both sides and the wheel well should marry up pretty close to the inner fender line. I took some decent pictures when I replaced mine.
