5 Attachment(s)
We need help, son and I are about to go nuts. We have done a total restore on this 67 firebird, drive train all done, body work about done, putting fenders back on, hood back on, etc. we cant get bumper lined up. front frame was removed but realign with x checking and pin holes . All panels are original. doors were not removed. Take a look at pics, door to fender looks good, fender to hood looks good, but hood to bumper is half inch off. Been working on this car for 5 years need to get er done. any suggestions appreciated.

I'm not a Firebird expert and the photos make it a little difficult to view things, but to me your hood-to-fender shut lines look like they might be too tight, particularly as you get closer to the cowl.

Was that the bumper on the car before you started? I'm no expert either but looks like the bumper was pushed in at the center.
|
Make sure the car is sitting on its tires....when aligning sheet metal....thats step #1
|
It is hard to tell with the pics, the fender is even with the door, could come out a little.thanks

Is there anyone that has a 67 front bumper that they can measure side to side from the back side, maybe easier to get length?

Here are pictures of a 68 bumper fitment. I didn't take measurements, but you can get an idea of the gaps I wanted. I don't have any good close up shots.
