Hello,
My car is a 74, has had no body damage and appears very straight. The only problem is uneven gaps in the headlight area. Has anyone come up with a logical sequence of alignment of the three components mentioned in the thread title? I have gone at this three times now and always end up with unsatisfactory results. Thanks, Jack |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) You see so many w/ hoods that aren't adjusted correctly. That gap above the front bumper top.... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/barf.gif)
I replaced the rubber grommets on the eyebrows with small machine screws and nuts to give them adjustability. Patience (IMG:style_emoticons/default/locust.gif). Patience. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer3.gif) |
