QUOTE(Aircooledfool @ Oct 14 2018, 12:21 PM)  Be careful, that jig doesn't have vertical alignment for the big cut you are doing. You may end up with your front clip at an angle, either up or down, or even worst: twisted. You would need a full car jig that goes all the way to the rear suspension in order to replace the entire front clip. |
