body work

I have a 66 f 100 the driver fender was trashed, and the door pinched a bit.
I have another fender, I want to ask how to make sure the door does not pinch when I put the new fender on. I would like to use the current door if possible and fix the edge at some point.
Thank you in advance as you guys always help.
Scott

If the truck was hit in the front of the fender, it's very common for the fender to be distorted rearward and pinch the opening of the door. Quite often just replacing the fender with a straight one solves the problem, provided the inner fender hasn't been compromised.

that seems to be what happend. If you can tell me how to post pictures on here I will post a bent fender and removed fender picture. The door does seem to sag just a bit compared to the other side.
