Cool fender spacing 56

hi guys I have put the frontend togethere the hood is fitting fine, but the fenders is where I am haveing a little trouble they are all bolted up to the cab and the core support the best I can get them, but at the front I have about 3/8" space on both sides and the backthey are touching the hood.
can anybody tell me what to do to get it more of an even space .
Thanks

Also what is the best way to check if the cab is square to the frame.

Did you install the rubber beaded strip between the cab and fenders?? ..that could help that area a little, in the front, sounds like you have some more adjusting to do..might consider moving both air deflectors inbd.
Does the hood latch? good fit at the cowl? ..front of fenders and hood line up ok?tough to tell without pictures, but maybe the fenders need to be loosened across the inner fenders and then the deflectors pulled in...then try re-mounting the radiator strip and see how it works. I know it takes alot of time..but the more time you contribute to it...the better it looks. Good Luck!
