Is there anything I can do to repair it? I want to atleast keep it from spreading. Let me see if I can get a pic.

Need help with body lines
Its not much, I guess
I want it to look the way it should, what needs to be adjusted? I think this happened because the car wasnt lifted properly. What do you think?
The car only has 30,000 miles on it so I really couldn't pass it up and it runs great except for the clutch which, seems to be making a high pitched chirping rattling sound when run hard.

What is out of place exactly ? The body line gap looks fairly even.
If your talking about the part at the bottom that sticks down/out a little then there is a bolt under the fender underneath. You can loosen it and push the bottom fender in a little. I had to do it on my car a long time ago. I think it was because my jacking puck pushed it slightly.
Easy fix !

What happened is the vette bottomed out. When bottomed out probably snagged the bolt an put it in bind an cracked the finder...
Reasons for dragging ground in that area of vette is pulling up on lift to have work done or pulling on trailer to transport.
So after you fix it just beware of this so doesnt happen again...
Its happened to alot of use vette guys... So your not the only one....

the damage was done when I bought the car although, I am also guilty of bottoming out. I pay more attention now 
The rockers are ugly on the underside
I am just happy to be driving a vette, thanks for the response guys

Good luck getting the bottom of the fender lined up again.
