Captain,

Is the front end/body of that beast (GTO) really out of whack or something? It looks far to pretty to part out. Apologies for the off topic post. Couldn't resist; that GTO looks like one fine machine.

its not horribly out of wack, but it is shifted perhaps an inch or so from what I could tell, I just cant tell at what point (in front of or behind the shock towers) it starts.

I was contemplating fixing it, but I couldnt find all the parts I needed right away (and cheaply) and I ended up buying the project car I want to swap everything into last Friday, so its not really on my "to do" list anymore.
