Carl is correct. In fact, leave every bolt loose until you get them all started. I’ve finally got my front clip with grill and gravel pan installed and will be aligning the hood and front end today…. I installed my inner fender wells loosely and then installed the fenders over them. All bolts at the rear that go into the cowl will have to remain loose for the alignment process, I believe.

The new grill was the most troublesome piece.
