Put a adjustable panhard bar on. Yours could be possibly bent

I noticed that too. But even if the rear is off a bit, just throw an adjustable PHB on and problem solved. When I put mine on I remember the rear being off a 1/4 inch or so.

Wow, that is a nice looking car for sure.

Use the nut on a string method to plumb down the fender lip past the tire. Then measure from string to tire. If you have a difference, do the adjustable PHB.

Off topic but are those real tail lights or is that a photoshop? Looks sweet. There is a photoshop floating around with those lights that's why I ask
