The doglegs on the front fenders have gaps at the ends (vertical part), =
perhaps 1/8=E2=80=9D at most. The body man has been unable (or =
unwilling) to reshape the arc of the dogleg to exactly match the curve =
of the sill, and, I rather doubt that an exact match is important. =20
I=E2=80=99d like to close the gap to prevent spray from the wheels from =
making its way in between the fender and sill, and I=E2=80=99d =
appreciate advice regarding what we could use to prevent water from =
entering the space between the fender dogleg and the sill. Body guy =
suggested body caulk, but I=E2=80=99ve seen his caulking and think it =
will be ugly. What about something like dum-dum, that can be smoothed =
after the panel is securely mounted?
I plan to run a long section of hose from the scuttle drains through the =
inner fender and exit through the baffle plates, so that the scuttle =
won=E2=80=99t drain into the space between the inner and outer fenders. =
Thanks in advance,
