Alignment is great on the passenger side everywhere. Driver side is another story. We are tight at the cowl and wide at the header. We have decided to put the car on a rack and check the subframe alignment and see if the cowl could be off on the drivers side. We could make everything fit with the sub and cowl in their current position but I am not comfortable with that. If the car is apart...do it once...do it right.

Had the frame guy come and look at the cowl but everything seems to be pretty close. Ended up relief cutting and doing some adjustments to the fender mount locations and that has given us a lot more adjustment than the factory ever allowed for, which in turn has helped out the gaps a ton.

Very good. Good job on the gap adjustments.

Is the header panel aftermarket?? It looks like in picture 2 that the hood peak is not center with the header peak. Anything aftermarket I would question. Some of this stuff is absolute garbage!!!! I'm pulling my hair out with this crap

The header is aftermarket. They wanted to get the fender to hood gaps perfect and then were going to do some adjustments to the header. It needed some relief cuts and welding to get it to fit properly. It was that or put 2X as much labor into the original that was twisted and beat up pretty bad. We did put a gauge on the nose of the hood and the heel of the header and they were pretty close.

Looks like your doing big progress in your project. GJ!!!! :thumbsup:

Finally all the body work is done!! Some good pics of the overlap weld repairs to the lower fenders where we hide to splice in new lower sections. Everything in slick sand and ready for assembly for the final boarding. Blow it apart after that and do final prime and prep for color.:thumbsup:
