Hi Bob... the headlights/grillles issue looks more alignment than other stuff. I think you have some toward to driver side the complete bumper, beside you can get headlights buckets and grille brackets some adjusted.

How can I adjust that?

Jeez Bob! Please downsize the pics a little next time


Looks great I can't remember, what year is your car again?

How do I downsize? I use imageshack now. And it's a 74.

do you have spacer blocks on rear or just springs are worn ?


great... you have the iddler pulley I wish!!!!

It's just springs and shocks. The air shocks where on forever. Does it appear to sit to low? Do you need a idler pulley?

actually I don't know how much raised must be LOL, but mine is lot more raisered. Shock are there since who knows, and springs were new mounted on 2001. Your car height looks great on both ends. what tires size do you have ?

Do I need the pulley ?... no really need, but wish... but also the compressor front hose is different when you get that pulley. Dunno why some cars had it and some others don't

Is some tricky.

If you see with detail the front view pic of your car, you can see bumper sligthly toward to driver side. Also a little bit raisered on that end

Bumper really can't be aligned to sides more than the bolts holes play itself. For a while you can align it forward and back without problem.

Really is more a fender alignment I think what in fact can be moved inside and ouside, but that would it be a headache since hood and other side fender will need that too. Wont need to move/loose the rear area of fender ( cowl ) so will keep aligment with door, just front end, the area bolted on to radiator support and get it inside. Maybe also loose slightly some other bolts along the inner fender to make it easier.

After that the beams bucket can be moved or sligthly bended to match with grillles better.

grill itself look good fit on bumper

THAT'S GREAT GADABRA. I'M ON YOUR CAR....FINALLY! You just increased it's value by 10K.
I got it autographed 3 years ago when Ben was a couple miles from the house. He is one great guy to talk to. He had his General Lee and I was the only one he let get in and play around.
As far as the bucket allignment, I think I'm going to try and adjust the housing they are bolted in.

You noticed that the bumper was off a little to the driver side. Yu are right. Good eye. I think it was bumped sometime in it's early chilhood. It would probably take all new brackets to get it back center. Now that it's all said I think that is why the buckets are off a little. We all can't have perfect cars like kadabra.

all the headache produced by the beams and filler alignment LOL.

anyway definitelly the beams rubber fillers of grilles look in REALLY GREAT CONDITIONS to me beside of course the tipical hardened stuff, so I don't think you need them
