Thanks Phil and Bruce for your help. I really like the idea of using the hole in the dash to check headlight position. I did several left to right measurements all the way back to the quarter windows. After sleeping on it, I'm feeling more and more comfortable with the fit of the replacement nose.
Another thing I did was to install the bumper bracket and shim the nose off of it, so it can't move during welding. Also to make sure in lines up.
Here's my attempt to take a picture and hold a straight edge at the same time. This is the old nose.
The new nose has a much smaller gap that I can live with.
Today I hope to trim and tack this in.
Thanks,
Tom
