Correcting Front Grill???
My 68 suffers from this (albeit worse)
Note on the left how the chrome molding on the bottom does not line up. Is there any way to correct this. I have seen some cars PERFECT and many like this one.

It takes a lot of test fitting and adjustment. The bumperettes (verticals) can be moved using shims at the upper attachment points. The grill surrounds can be slightly bent upwards (be careful) or moved side to side by elongating the holes that the screws attach to in the lower section.
Normally takes half to 3/4 day to fully align everything from scratch, less if you get lucky.
