anyone know what the tolerances are for the hood to fender gap is and what the lower header panel (the part that goes under the headlights) to fender gap should be on a '97?

i am having problems with the truck....the body shop says its done and within spec and it looks like crap.....the hood is up about 3/16" in the center of the fender......like it is bowed up because the header panel is pushed back.....

 

i'll measure mine tomorrow if you want...

 

as soon as possible.....if you don't mind......

and by any chance you or your pops can get me the Ford tolerances for them? i think my header panel is pushed back causing the bow in the hood.....

 

idk if they have that listed in the archive... i know mine isnt messed up..

 

any help would be great!

this is what it looked like right after the wreck and still how it looked today......

 

that looks not right too mee.....

 

the header to the fender right there?

no thats not right... mine is flush

 

yea i know that isnt right......

how far apart are they off the top of your head? they aint susposed to be touching are they
