Is there any difference in size of front inner fender wells between 49-51 cars? My left front fender pulls away from the hood and in the front drops down about an inch. Fit around the cowl and door jamb is good.

The fit on those was horrible from the factory. The whole nose was assembled and dropped on as a unit. The fenders are basically all the same so I'm guessing the inner fenders are as well. Good luck.

I think there is a small difference on the '51 where the park brake cable passes through.

Maybe you guys could help me. when I purchased my 50 it was already disassembled and I have no idea how all the inner fender pieces go together. If anyone has pictures or knows where I can find an old diagram it would be greatly appreciated.
