i got in a wreak blah blah blah and now im replacing the front header panel and the right fender. I got the right fender from a junk yard and i got the front panel from 4wd.com. i rear ended somebody on corner of the passenger side (right at the headlight). I hit him in a way that the corner of my front bumper went inward, my nose panel got distroyed, and my passenger side fender got all bent out of shape. It also took out my headlight. It did not damage my grille or radiatior luckly. but anyways im replacing the panels right now. when i put the fender on there is a gap towards the front of the hood. It gradually gets bigger the farther away it is from the windshield. and when i got my header panel today in the mail i put it in and the hood wont even close because on the passenger side it sits too far back. its not lined up worth crap. which makes me think the piece i ordered isnt perfectly straight. not too sure what to do. any help?

 

Shims or BFH.

 

wood shims? sorry i work in construction, if that seems like a retarded question.

 

metal ones. there should be some down where the fender bolts into the one lip under the rockers, shims like that.

 

can i buy metal shims or are they just scrap metal or what?

 

you could use a bunch of washers
its just used to space stuff out. to either move up or outwards.

 

Hows the unibody first of all, did it get tweaked at all?
