Right Front Quarter Panel Alignment
My passenger front fender is misaligned and I'd rather not use a body shop to fix it. It appears as though the screws inside the hood and one screw on the underside of the rocker panel are all that need to be loosened to make the adjustment. Is that it or am I missing something? Any and all advice will be appreciated.

There is a few torx head screws on the top when you open the hood
there is 1 7mm underneath whee it bolts to the ground effect.
There is 1 7mm bolt that you need to remove the tire and the innerfender to get to that is half way between the bottom 7mm and the top of the car
There are 2 10mm nuts that bolt to the bumper that you can reach from underneath by removing the panels that are connected to the bumper and the fender.
There are 3 more 7mm bolts that are connected to the fender on the end. You need to flip up the head light and get a real small wrench to get them.
good luck

You got it, actually there are 2 bolts and a plate under the front near the headlights. The plate and bolts hold the fender in place with the front clip. This is really not a "hard" job to do a re-align

Gary,
I have found every Vette seems to have this misalignment. I tried to fix mine but made other parts of the fitment worse. In the end I put it back. Be interested in your results.

I'll let you know what happens when I try it, which may be a few weeks. I've got a couple of other things I want to do with the car before I get to this.
