Front bumper alignment

[Jakedog]

This is driving me crazy. I really don't want to tear the front end down to the frame. I was hoping to do body work and paint after checking the fit of the front bumper.

Any suggestions other than a sledgehammer?

How about a picture, looking the length of the bumper, showing gap all the way across?

I'll do that.
Btw, I took it to a frame shop a few months ago and they said the frame was good.
So it shouldn't be a frame issue.

Make sure your aftermarket bumper is true.

If it is, it has been almost 10 years since I restored mine but I believe you can move the body around in the mounts.

Based on your pics, loosen the left mounts, push the body back. Do the same for the right mounts except push it forward. Left or right I believe is possible too. Once you square the body on the frame, tighten them back up.

Be sure to open the hood. Adjust the hood after you get the body alignment correct.

I would start by measuring the distance from the frame to the ends of the bumper to make sure they're the same distance. Then measure the frame to the fender to see if they're the same distance. One or the other is off.
