Wrecked and need advice...

[Pred500duner]

Ok. SO I fell asleep while driving... in my neighborhood. Hit a tree at some mph and it just took out the front portion of the car smack in the middle (radiator, bumper, etc.) and I bought all the parts and got everything on. Now I need to know how to adjust the fenders if possible. The fenders are tweeked the the right a bit but the right drivers side needs to come in more. PLEASE HELP! Thanks.

You say the fender(s) are tweaked. If they are both tweaked to the same side like it sounds like you're saying then you would have a bent frame or frame components. How fast were you going?

Dunno, fell asleep. I was going about 25mph give or take but after I fell asleep I dunno, but I woke up to hitting the curb and then turned the wheel and tried stopping by hitting the breaks but didnt work =/ But I know the fenders can be moved around a little bit cant they? My grandpa replaced the psg side fender and had to move it around and everything to get it to sit right.

Well, there is adjustments that can be made. First you have to adjust your doors, and then adjust your fenders to the doors. If I was you I would just start loosening bolts that are holding the fender. Don't take them all the way out, just loosen them and then move the fender around to where you like it, and then tighten it back down. You might have to put shims behind the bolts and maybe have a helper hold it in place while you tighten it back down. It's not hard to do, but it's like anything, if you have never done it, it will take a little patience.

what kind of vehicle?
Almost made it home, eh?
The AirBag is not a pillow...contrary to beliefs. =)

If they both need to move the same direction loosen the body mount bolts for the radiator core support and slide it over.

I think it might mostly be the right side only needing to come in... But yea I was not but 100 yards away from my house. The airbags deployed but I have long legs and sit back further than the normal person so the steering wheel airbag didnt even reach me... lol. And I am going to be working on it today, and I am dusting off those keys because everything is set in and bolted down and ready to start. =)
