head light placement ???
 
I have a 71 just got done doing frame off restro, but the passenger side headlight is not centered in the grill , headlight beazle ? it is to the center by 1/2 inch. the only thing I know to do at this point is to relocate the light bucket bracket . has anyone had this happen? what did you do to fix it ??? All my body lines and grill lines are dang near perfect all gaps are real good but that one light. and it is making me crazy !

I suggest post some pictures and let us know if there is any new sheet metal, grill, or radiator support involved or is it all original parts?

My right headlight was like that. Due a bent core support. Seeing a frame off resto maybe not.
Like to think simple myself. The headlight/bucket rocks back and forth on the core support. Try loosening the adjustment screw that is towards the rad. If that light is cross eyed that may be the fix.
