jgkurz 52 Report post Posted June 6, 2016 HI Folks, I removed the engine/trans from my 69 Mach1 then disassembled the complete front end to restore the engine bay. Logic seems to say that the fenders should go on before the headlight buckets. I'd like to minimize chipped paint as much as possible.Is this correct? Thank you!

Caseyrhe 650 Report post Posted June 6, 2016 Need to put light buckets on to fenders first, using the rubber gasket that goes between the two. The top inner bucket bolt/nut is easier to get to with fender off Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Caseyrhe 650 Report post Posted June 6, 2016 Hopefully you bagged and labeled the bottom spacers so it goes back like it was. May want to make sure the frame nut is still in place for rear bottom fender as well Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jgkurz 52 Report post Posted June 6, 2016 I bagged and tagged as much is possible, but the car was put together by monkeys in the past so I pretty much need to start fresh and do it correctly. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
alex 18 Report post Posted June 8, 2016 What is the gasket between the fender and the headlight bucket? I did a quick search but did not find it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
