Just got my brother a gt and I thought the body was straight but when we got it home I noticed a lot of space between the fender and door and by that I mean I can put my finger behind the fender. Its only that way toward the bottom at the ground effects. I can take a picture tomorrow. I'm praying its an adjustment issue and not any kind of frame damage. I can't find any other evidence of a wreck.

make sure you look at the frame rails good on each side of the motor. But if its just the bottom thats got the gap then probably just needs some adjusting. Get some pics of it.

Check the pinch welds. Many times people lift the car directly under the fender and it bows it out.

could be an aftermarket fender that didnt line up worth anything.

Got it on some stands today and the pinch welds at that part of the body are bent over and it does appear that someone jacked it up at the bottom of the fender. At least I can rule out frame damage. Thanks for the help.

the center door molding looks too short.
