Well, Between lasers and point targets and stick rules and tripods and things, I have found what got bent.

It is the front (sometimes here called clip) and it is bent such that I can't bring the porta-power to bear and straighten it with the engine in the way. As there is lots else that needs attention, I am thinking to acquire a front frame and just swap it in there. I had this out to put the engine back in, so there should be no surprises.

Question: Is there any difference that anybody knows of between years or anything that might make this a big issue?
I remember reading that new coaches could set more caster, but I paid little attention as it was no issue to me at that time. I have several local possibilities, and I may get to make a choice.

Matt (I would like to get the ride height down from 27" sometime.)
