Hey toad, looks like you could use some spacers on your rear wheels. Paint looks awesome though!

Re: Post your firebird pics
Looking at my old firebird book it does not seem like you can get much adjustment out of the brackets for the healight assembly.They are not slotted for adjustment only one is and thats the side one.It does look like if the headlight motor arm was bent then it would make it look like yours.This is the arm that connects the headlight motor to the headlight to raise and lower it.

Re: Post your firebird pics
You may need to take the black trim cover off for a good look at the arm.
Also using painters tape or masking tap the first piece that would contact the paint touch it to your pants or fabric.Do this so it is not as sticky then put on the paint so you dont damage it.Put it all along the edge of the metal parts that may come close to contact.

The arm does not look bent so I dont think its that... but I think I have a way of re adjusting it so thanks for the help bro!

Re: Post your firebird pics
I took a couple of shots of mine this weekend after I finished the T56 swap/engine build and got 'er all cleaned up and put back together.
The pictures were taken out at the Naval Station across the river from the Naval Academy. That's the academy across the river, and our Yard Patrol fleet and sailing vessels can be seen in a couple of the shots.
Hope you enjoy,
-Levi
