Gapping my 67
while hanging my doors and fenders has been fairly easy I am wondering about the rocker to fender gap... I don`t have a picture of it but I am fairly tight ..within an 1/8 to 1/16 while my door to fender is 3/8 to 1/4
I am thinking the rocker gap would be smaller since it is the stationary point does anyone have a picture of this area they could post up
I have only had to use 2 shims on the whole front clip so very happy with the fit of the car so far

The rocker gap may be smaller. Use the cowl/A pillar and the rocker to get the fender position, and try to get the door centered in its hole between the fender and the quarter panel. Pre-computer built cars had variable and larger gaps; its part of the "mystique" and "character" lol.
