How can I fix this?

You start by setting the doors then shim the rear of the fenders on both sides. Move to the core support to get the front valance correct then move on to the hood. It took two of us three days to align all of the panels on my 67 stepside. We did it before paint and pinned each joint before disassembly for paint. A ball bearing will roll down all of those panels now!

Thank you,
This is what I was leading up to and will try this tonite and post any pictures of any movement to see if it works out.

Wish one of you could come over and do it for me. I'll buy the beer.
