& i gotta ask again, do you have the service or body manuals for the car? & yes, please post some pics of these issues so we can see whats going on.
you keep mentioning about the manuals, purchased them all . My experiences with manuals is that they are good when the cars are new. As far as adjustments goes , THEY ARE useless when a car is 40-50 years old and has twisted and sagged over the years

thanks for your reply
