Having talked to a couple of people that are doing body off restorations,
several of us have found the A pillars to have been almost destroyed. As
I put out a while ago, I had to cut the bottom 2" off my A pillar on the
driver side and replace the sill plates on both sides. So it appears that
for some reason the A pillars really take a beating. The B pillars don't
seem to be quite as bad.
Also, for anyone wanting to remove their fenders. There is a "L" piece
of fiberglass glued to the rear of the fender well. It goes over a stud
on the front of the sill plate and is used to hold the back of the fenders
to the car. If the rear of your front fender is movable, then chances are
that the glue holding the "L" bracket on has deteriorated.

20 years of service sure sounds like a good advertisement/endorsement
to me.
