Well it could be due to a bad body job. Might be time to start measuring your car at both sides to see if all are with in spec

I feel if I can just turn the body 15 degrees to the right all will be fine.if this is the problem how big a job is it thanks.
Wheel alignment will cause that. I would start there and have it aligned.

Measure between front to back on each side. Don't use the body panels. These cars were put together in a rather crude manner. Fledgeling years for fiberglass body construction and assembly line work. Dennis
