I will add some pictures, but in the course of deconstructing my 79 Cutlass, I've found evidence of repair to a right front end accident. Must have been years ago. Everything looked straight and color matched, but as I dug in, I found that the header panel had been replaced with one from a 78, there is inner fender damage, and the core support had been pulled out around the headlight. I pulled the whole front clip and the engine, and it looks as though the bumper support on that passenger side isn't pointing quite in the same direction as the driver's side.

I'm thinking I should just leave it. It's not going to be a show car, and everything seemed to fit together OK before I pulled it apart. I'm already dug in pretty deep, just not sure it would be worth the time and effort to make it just like the other side. Just looking for opinions on what others would do.

Thanks
Tom
 
you can't look at a frame to see if it is tweaked, you need to make some measurements
