Missing from previous post. Sorry. Looking for correct position for fender in the wheel well prior to drilling wheel well and the new fender.

The correct position is how it works for you body to frame to running boards. It would suck to put the finished body on the frame and find the painted fenders do not line up to the back of the running boards or fit on the painted splash aprons.

I would stronly suggest that you put the body on the frame with the running board brackets checked for correct position and the running boards and splash aprons in place. Then set up the fenders to work properly.

I set up my mounting bolts off the frame not knowing better with the repro fenders before I had splash aprons. Fortunately I did not have everything painted yet. Just some things.

I know better now.

Sounds like good advice. I will hold off on drilling holes until I have the Brookville aprons and boards mounted then fit the fenders. I was just trying to get some work done while weather is so warm here.
