<div>Not to start a “Tiger Sledgehammer Story 2.0” but is it possible someone
went bashing about to make headers fit? From what I saw in the pictures
there is no obvious point in the underside of the fenders to indicate the front
clip was ever replaced. Yet to have gotten the frame/inner fenders that damaged
likely would have required replacing the external sheet metal. My car did
not show that type of frame/inner fender damage and yet the front clip “bowed”
at the peak of the wheel opening from some form of (prior) accident requiring
replacement. Just throwing a possibility out there in the hope that regardless
of how it looks, the actual alignment may not be so bad. Measuring between
common location mounting points diagonally should give you an idea. That said,
how accurately were these cars built back then???</div><span>

<p>All, I've taken some better pictures (still not great but hope they
will do) and put it together in a PPT then to PDF format. If anyone with
detailed experience would care to review and provide feedback on what I suspect
is damage vs. what might actually be stock factory construction it would be
appreciated. Also note in last e-mail I called out the drivers side but I
mixed with the car sitting on it's side. The suspect damage is on the
passenger side (or top of the car with it on it's side).</p><div><div class="h5">

<p>Also on the last page is a picture of the lower radiator surround. At
the passenger side it's only an 1" high and drivers side its almost 3"
(estimates). Is this stock? I don't see an obvious repair or bend
here but seems very strange that it wouldn't be same height all the way
across. </p>

<p>PS. Hopeing the Autox mail manger correctly strips off the attachment
and provides a link to it. Please let me know if it doesn't and I'll find
a public sharing source. </p></div></div></div>
