Was just wondering if anyone out there has replaced the header bar ( metal nose support that the headlight assembly bolts to) on their 74 coupes? removal of old one wasnt to bad to remove, but was wondering what the trick, if any there is to properly aligning the new bar? Any advice would be helpful.
header bar replacement?
