I have a '67 with the old front end off, and the rest of the body is still on the frame. The car is on jackstands in the front, with the tires off. The rebuilt front suspension has been recently installed.
I just bought a correct, jig assembled, press molded, complete front end, complete with inner skirts, which is ready to bond on. I have done one "trial" attempt to slide the new front end onto the firewall, but the bottom of the skirts seem to be hanging up, going over the upper A-arms.
I don't want to do any damage or split the surround seams on the glass, by forcing it over the A-arms.
Has anyone been in this situation before and what should I expect? I have installed a couple of front ends, but not with the skirts attached.
Thanks, Patrick
