Front Fender Assembly

Hienkel429

Hi all, 

I've been through the body manual and looked at a bunch of pictures but how does the rear lower portion of the front fender tie into the frame?  Is it through the rocker panel?  This was all apart when I bought the car so now I am trying to rebuild something I didn't even take apart.  Thanks for whatever advice and/or pictures you can provide.  

Thanks,

Oh its a 51 hornet sedan.

The lower part of the fender and rocker panel screw together with a piece of body colored trim that covers the screws.

So the rocker panel at that point is structural instead of just cosmetic?  It makes sense in my head now. 

Thanks!

Yeah I guess yiu could say that. Where the rocker and fender meet, there is no contact to the frame work, just where it’s screwed along the bottom and thresholds.
