I am TRYING to align the front clip of my '69. I had to move the core support to the right to square the hood opening, so far that it hits the front bumper.For the life of me, I can't get the bumper to move at all, I have loosened all the bolts & it wont budge!!

Is there a trick to this, or am I just being graemlins/clonk.gif

TIA,
Scott

Sorry, the bumper can't be moved side-to-side. If the hood has the proper gaps at the cowl area and the front fenders are properly aligned/gapped, then the only two things that will cause your problem is (1) the body isn't centered on the frame or (2) the front frame rails are bent somewhere between the firewall area and the horns.

Extensive measurements may be required to pinpoint the cause of your problem.
