Stop in for a cup of coffee

soo.. went to put my grill in tonight and nothing fits.. grabbed a tape measure and my front gap is 1/2" too tight to even fit the hood.. that passenger fender i had issues with must have really taken a beating, although i couldn't see it off the car.. so... i can take the fender off and try to beat the mount flanges/brackets outward to move the front of the fender out.. or shim it to make it work... Kramer has a fender for $700 that has dent puller holes and **** in it... rather not do that. I dont' think i have ever had to shim the front of a mopar fender before.

My sister is gonna come over soon to help me put the hood on, i will align it with the cowl and then be able to see whats exactly up with the fenders.
