Default Passenger Side Index Hole -- Off Center

I'm going to call into the body shop today to ask if they can check a vette chassis.
Haggisbash, This is what a Passenger Side Index Hole looks like when it is not aligned. The holes should line up. My Corvette frame told a story of a NASTY accident. Good luck with yours, it can be fixed, mine was.

Wow DUB, that is really interesting...makes me want to run home and check mine just for the heck of it. You never fail to provide some great info...if I was closer, I would have you look at some things on my 74...unfortunately if I drove the car that far I would die of heat stroke before I got there. Not hijacking, just the facts. Anyway, I am going to check this out sometime soon.
