As I said in your other post:
The radiator in a C3 in leaned back 30 degrees from vertical.

Thanks Guys for the info. I spent 30 minutes going thru the aim and NO DEGREES listed.
That's probably why the previous owner had the fenders so out of whack when he grafted on the '76 nose....
passenger fender was too far rearward and the drivers fender was too far for ward...and the support wasn't square with the frame.
I sould be able to get wheel well gaps centered...and the fenders at the right heigth when I redrill the bolt holes in the new DIY rad. support I fabbed which I squared with the frame. (IF one bolt hole is off center, it can make the fenders unlevel at the crests by 1".
