passenger A pillar and dash separation? What would cause it? 
Sorry for the cell phone pic, I don't usually have my real camera handy. It was that way when I bought the car. No frame damage, the car is perfectly straight (minor exterior dings aside), everything else seems to fit fine, the dash is tight, and the driver side is lined up perfectly. Really puzzles me, anyone seen this before and have any ideas of how to fix it? It hasn't bothered me too much, but recently all the little imperfections in the car have been driving me nuts and I finally am trying to get some of these things fixed.
Thanks in advance for any input.

Has the heater core been replaced , or did it already have a aftermarket radio or alarm installed when you got it?

That's the first thing I did is push and pull on the dash, it was perfectly tight and won't budge anywhere.
I don't know if the heatercore was replaced, but the radio was stock I do know that. Someone had been in the car at one point doing something in there because on the driver side there are two screw holes in the panel under the steering column and one of the fat red wires was missing insulation from a previous splice (taped that sucker up), and on the passenger side the plastic piece that runs along the floor between the door and the seat had been removed at one point as there was a missing screw and another wire in a harness under the dash against the passenger side wall was nicked up some. What had been done to this thing, I don't know.

Did you take a close look at the A pillar molding ? Does it look like it's mounted correctly in comparison to the drivers side A pillar molding?
If that's not it try loosening all the dash mounts you can find on the passenger side, then see if you can pull / push it up into the correct position. If you can while it's where you want it, tighten it down!
Good luck, hope it helps!
