Default Realigning my bumper question.

When I put on new bumpers, the front one never did seem to align correctly. The driver's side corner just isn't aligned properly as you can see in the pic. Is there something I can do to get it to be straight with the world?

I guess I am just **** retentive. However, if you look at it closely, you will see that it rises up as you go from the front of the bumper toward the 289 emblem. The other side is not that way. No, it's not upside down.

If the other side is the same then it is an alignment problem. If it is not it is a twisted bumper.

Man, can you guys not read? I just said the other side is not the same. It may very well be a twisted bumper as it is a repro. OK, I guess I will just either live with it, or try to change the geometry on the underside hook up.

I no can read man. i are not a good ritter iether. Hey Glenn if you pull it off and lay it on a flat surace it will tell you if it is twisted. You can twist them back into shape with brute force and ignorance.

I figured it out, your whole car is tilted slightly leaning to the right, the bumper is acctually straight and the car is off! AHA! You are welcome.

Do the 66's not have the little bracket on the fender that the bumper mounts to?
