Beginning to wonder if it is the trim that is the problem. Have we seen a car yet that both sides are equal between the bumper and the trim? It might be harder to jig the trim than the bumper. Who knows.

Michael would know.

There has to be someone out there in 58 chevy restoration land that knows, they just aren't telling us.

Hey guys, did you notice the little support piece over the wheel well that keeps the trim in position. I've not noticed this before. Maybe there is a similar piece behind the bumper which gets left out some of the time allowing for the bumper to sag such as this car.

Good eye, but if you look at the pic above and below, there had to be several different trims along the body.

I always thought that piece of trim was a stopping point for two colour paint options.

He would definitely know. He hasn't been back here since Derek ragged on him and I use to see him at the local car swap meets too and haven't for years now.

Loads of opportunity here to make crazy comments.

The guys are placing bets on how long before he has to sell it.

Dave, I think I have found where the bumper and trim alignment answers may be.

Little girl standing by the river and wondering why the bumper and the trim on the drivers side does not line up?

Very interesting. Reminds me of my old BSA shop manual which basically was "put it together, if it doesn't work you did something wrong". Wouldn't surprise me if the chevy instructions read... "Assemble front bumper and side trim with bolts provided."

Actually the trim/bumper alignment look pretty good on that one...
