I'd be the same way..........a friend tried to talk me into doing the RS conversion on my car when I first got it 20+ years ago and I looked at the system in the factory build manual and started counting pieces and said to myself no f'n way I'll go insane. I'm sure the DSE system is much easier but.....

Good Luck!

if you make the two wholes on the core support bigger it gives you some much needed wiggle room . you'll be surprised how much alignment gets better with just a slight movement. once you get them where you want them. place a washer (with correct ID )to cover enlarged whole, trace perimeter and cut it out, weld washer of correct gauge to match core support and you'll have a nice pretty finish with correct whole location.
also playing with shims ( adding / subtracting ) on door shaft I also used a washer / shim on the core support bolts between core and housing to tilt up or down.
its going to take some pulling and pushing on the rest of it.
hope this helps

Oh I'm a master with the shims thats for sure Frank!! I did exactly what you said and it does help a ton. What worries me the most is Troy said every time he took something off the car it never went back the same. These assemblies mount to the core support witch mount to the sub frame so I'm trying to come up with way to,PIN/MARK everything that the assemblies mount to and hopefully it will help when they go back together

Troy tried once to talk me out of it but did I listen. It's always been one of my favorite front ends since I can remember there was no way it wasn't going on my car.

I was pretty sure you would be the man with shim/ adjustments , being a body man by trade. I agree with you on the car going back together. It can move on you quite a bit. I'm also going to be doing some kind of marking or pin for the same reason. For my self It helps that I have personally broken it and built it some many times that kind of know the car.
Hope you make it out to west coast for some events. would like to see that thing in person.

I will say that rendering does look really mean though.
