ive never had an early fender..but ive had a bunch of later stampings..i used to fix a lot of 69 camaros in the 80-90s..ive never had a fender fit right..some cars ya roll with it..some cars ya need to fix it..

i always and mean always mock the car up before i even think about jambing and painting..always

Why couldn't a person move the leading edge of the door outboard to match?

At the factory The door hinges were located on the end of the door using a fixture which indexed the hinge to the outside profile of the door skin in order to align with the Quarter panel profile properly.
IF you tilt it out at the top- the profile will be fat in relation to the quarter panel.
If you move the leading edge out from the body in it's entirety will the door and rocker still be in alignment, can you get your seal good enough PLUS will you create too much gap at your wiper cowl to fender gap?
