Question Fender problem.

I was going down the road the other night, and the road was really slick. I hit my brakes to take a curve and they locked up. I slid straight into the hillside. I bent my passenger side wheel, and the fender is somewhat pushed up and back. the bottom of the fender seems to be farther away from the door, and the top of the fender is up under the door. In the front, you can see 1/2 in. of the side of my hood. If anyone knows any way to fix this without replacing the fender it would be appreciated.

Any tip would help.

Thanks everyone.

It has a slight bend behind the antenna.

Remove the fender, so you can tell if there is anything out of shape beneath it. How well is the grille aligned with the hood now? If the grille is aligned well with the hood, then the fender likely slipped back, the mounting holes are elongated for adjustment in fitup. if everything is where it should be then you should be able to line things up during reassembly.

The grille seems to be in the right spot. I'll try that. Thanks for the help.
