I am sure I am not the first to fail to note position of body mount shims and now am paying the price!1972 GMC Suburban cowl and door alignment problems.The front cowl doesn't fit correctly (see photos). Is there a measurement that can be done to the body or body to frame (parallelism) or is it all trial and error. How much of the front clip needs to be loosened?
At least its running ! Thanks for your help (as usual ! )
