The black plastic rivets are the correct fastener.

Try just loosening the (2) bolts on each side where the fender attaches to the core support on top first.
You should get enough movement there.
Good luck.

It sounds like you need to "square it up."
You will have to loosen all of the bolts except the two on the bottom of each fender, and push on the (front side) of the fender towards the side that has the smaller gap. For a quarter inch difference, you need to move it 1/8 inch.
You can use a tape measure and measure cross ways in both directions and it needs to be equal.

Restoration / Re: Chemical Dipping
« on: February 13, 2010, 02:52:37 AM »Just my .02 diping is the worst thing you can do non acid or not .I have worked on several cars that have had parts and bodies done and have had to cut thing apart and the chemicals are still in the seams even if they are washed and ecoated.I have painted cars and tried to do everything possible from pouring epoxy primer in the seams to spraying grease in the seams after paint and they always bleed .I don't agree.
I had my entire car chemical dipped 3 years ago. Yes, you will have to deal with some leaching of the chemical for a while, but it will eventually dry out. I also treated all the seams with a neutralizer which really helped. Remember, most seams are out of sight too.
My car was absolutely beautiful after dipping and I am extremely happy I did it.

Hope this works out for you.
As a fellow JL8 owner, it is really special to have some real proof of your car being 1 of the 206 ordered from the factory!
Good luck!

General Discussion / Re: # 8770 / 5691676 P/S Box. Is this for a Z/28 and what's it worth?
« on: January 27, 2010, 04:58:21 PM »
I also don't agree that one week on Ebay equals market value. I have sold many items second or third time on Ebay. It's a timing thing sometimes. Just because you list an item on Ebay doesn't mean that a buyer who needs it just happens to be looking at it and ready to pull the trigger.
Here's a sure fire way to find out what it's worth:
List it on Ebay with a starting bid of $19.00. What ever the auction ends at is the real market value. No more and no less. Don't put a reserve on it as most serious bidders will ignore it then.

« on: December 28, 2009, 05:12:26 PM »
I have a nice original pace car mostly untouched with checking in the paint, overspray on the bottom, orange overspray from the striping on top of the trim tag, and fading of the interior vinyl.
I drive it almost every weekend in the summer and I look at my "restored" cars collect dust.

I guess it's just a personal choice. While making a expensive restoration just like it was done originally sounds good, it is still a "restored car" and not original so I don't know how much better you stand to gain when eventually selling it. I have seen a few people talk about doing their restoration this way, but I don't know if I agree that this is a "trend."
I have a very hard time doing sloppy work on a 3-4 year project because that's the way it was once done, but that is just me.
Enjoy your project!
