front end questions?

mlessor96GT · May 25th, 2009, 09:58 PM

Hi so i recently purchased a 96 gt and the kid i got it from had a fender bender but reinstalled new bumper fender and hood BUT, everything is off about 1/8 of an inch, just enough to have the inner fenders, hood, lights not line up correctly. is there a site where i can buy brackets, bolts, etc for the front end because some are missing where they connect the bumper/fender/and inner fender together. Also, would banging it back out work well enough for the little amount it is off. But mainly i need a site where i can buy replacement pieces for the assembly of the front end. Thanks Mike

Best bet would be junkyard or go to ford. Anything aftermarket is going to be off. I have "OEM" aftermarket hood and fenders and they don't line up for shit.

Check to make sure the frame isn't bent. If it is, this would be a likely cause.
