    How hard is it to Straighten out the Front Frame Rail and/or Core Support?

    I've been giving a lot of thought for the last 1 week or so about whether or not I should take my Mustang to Maaco to get the repairs done. Last fall, I visited Maaco and I was shown by them some body work which they did on some various brand new cars which a few customers brought in to them (a...

    How hard is it to Straighten out the Front Frame Rail and/or Core Support?

    I never thought of the autobody trade school. I will call around and find out if there is one in my area. I am also going to bring my Mustang to a Maaco when I am able to save a few hundred dollars and see if they can fix the gap problem and also take off and repaint my front bumper. It's...

    How hard is it to Straighten out the Front Frame Rail and/or Core Support?

    Please don't make fun of my post. I am serious regarding the questions that I asked about taking my Mustang to Maaco in the above post which I made. I don't have a lot of money to re-do the repair. If Maaco can fix the gap problem and also repaint my front bumper while it's off the car at a very...

    thinking about buying this mustang

    If you are going to spend that type of money for repairs and engine upgrades, spend that money without having to do any upgrades or engine changes and buy yourself a GT.

    $$GAS$$

    I did a cost analysis based on 12,000 miles of annual driving and an average of 19 miles per gallon (mpg) fuel economy. I came out with a total of 631 gallons of gasoline needed for 1 year of driving at that fuel economy (19 mpg). I calculated that I would be paying a total of $1,893 per year...

    How hard is it to Straighten out the Front Frame Rail and/or Core Support?

    That's what I am going to do. I need to find a decent bodyshop in my area first though. I need to ask around and see which ones do good quality work and which ones have the proper measuring equipment and machinery. I don't know if I will be able to find a reputable shop here in my area. Most of...

    How hard is it to Straighten out the Front Frame Rail and/or Core Support?

    I already told you in one of my previous posts in here. The frame rails and the core support are NOT bent or damaged. There is NO frame damage whatsoever on my car. The main cause for the headlight unit/fender gap is an improperly adjusted headlight header panel. Now, I would like to know...

    How hard is it to Straighten out the Front Frame Rail and/or Core Support?

    I will definitely do this. I am going to bring my Mustang to another bodyshop so they can do the headlight panel adjustment and to also get my front bumper repainted again. The right way this time. The original bodyshop that I initially used for the repair and bodywork for the hit and run...

    Crash!

    That's right. I own 2 different Mustangs. One is a 2001 Mustang GT and the other one is a 2002 Mustang V6. The one which got hit was the V6 Mustang. Some idiot hit the front bumper and I had to get it repaired. I paid for everything out of my pocket because I don't know who hit me. The GT has...

    How hard is it to Straighten out the Front Frame Rail and/or Core Support?

    So what you are saying is that you can adjust the header panel ONLY with the headlight units OFF it? And then you can put the headlight units back on the header panel to see whether or not the top part of the headlight unit where the black gasket is located is "flush" with the fender? Is this...

    How hard is it to Straighten out the Front Frame Rail and/or Core Support?

    Okay. BUT can both headlight units stay clipped on to the header panel and to both fenders with the front bumper entirely OFF the car? I am thinking that if there is a way to keep both headlight units ON the header panel while the front bumper is off the car, that the header panel can be...

    Please Show me Pictures of your 2002 Mustang's Front Fame Rails and Core Support

    One more question that I forgot to ask is: Can both headlight assembly units be put on and clipped on to the header panel "WITHOUT" having the front bumper on? I figure that if both headlight units are clipped on to the header panel while the front bumper is off the car that the header panel...
