Fiberglass fender fit?

Putting these together over and over and over is not my idea of fun. It might be easier with two people though. Some of those bolts are hard to start by yourself.

We had the same problem and more when we put glass front fenders on Jon's 50. The gaps were way off around the cab, the upper and lower fenders didn't fit flush or true and the wheel opening was about an inch aft of where it was on the originals. We put them on, took them off so many times before we just decided to trim them to fit, glass the upper and lower together (which made it much easier to work with) and then rebuild them where we had notched them to fit.
We bought them because we thought it would be more work to weld repair the originals but in the end I think we dumped twice the man hours into fitting the glass ones.
From now on I stick with steel.
