Good cars go quickly, at least at a good price.

When I don't have more important projects(!) I am going to center the hood and use my big cargo strap and Mom's tree to pull the radiator supports to reduce the panel gaps.

However, I have done all that I could to straighten the horizontal part of the core support. I asked Crazy J to straighten it more and he said that he straightened metal further inside, but he couldn't bring it back to normal.

All that I know is that the horizontal part of the core support is still twisted and I don't have any idea how to straighten it further--except bondo.

I also didn't have that panel gap before.

Then there is the fact that the hood and bumper are a different color than the rest of the car.

The Internet says it would take 8 cans to paint both. I just hope that I would make it look better!

Of course, the paint is already bad on the trunk and roof...
