Short version of events. I got the left side wheel house wall repair patch I made a while back screwed on and the house drilled screwed to it for a test fit.
I had made the wall patch house flange the same width as the flange on the house and once I moved the patch to the inside of the wall, it was too short to move the house inboard enough. I took it all out to see what I had to add for that and just absently set the patch on top of the extension plate. These 2 pieces were made a week apart and never compared to match a fit. I had intended them to overlap as necessary to get the position I need for the house. This fit just blew me away. If I had TRIED to make them fit together, they wouldn't have turned out this well. I just tacked them together and got the width I needed...
Both of these pieces were shrunk/stretched and ground to fit the wheel house independently.
