Default Warped fenders?

As you can see in these pictures, my fenders are not completely aligned with the doors. It's not as bad on the driver's side, but it's there on both sides. Has anyone else had this happen, and does anyone know how you can tweak them? I've heard it is normal warping that can happen with age.

I think you can go underneath and bend where it is connected back inwards. I have seen something on this in another forum, and I am trying to find it real quick.

The front fender is made of plastic, so you can unbolt the bottom part and move it inward, and bolt it back down. You may have to elongate the holes if there is not enough movement allowed.

It worked! Thanks guys, apparently whoever had it before me drove it over something, cause the bracket underneath was kinda screwed up

Looks like you did a good job. It gets messed up if you use Chevys 'jacking' points.
