Thanks for your reply Al. You bring up some good points and I think you are right on. I will have to look a lot closer to see what really is there. I like your thought on whether or not the original owner gave up when he found out he could not get it right. That may be the real reason it was sold to the present owner in the first place. The guy who presently owns the car has purchased a lowering kit for the front and I'm not familiar with the kit. He made it sound like it would work, but I'm not sure in my own mind. Want the car to set right when finished and should not be a cobble job. Maybe a new type of front clip would need to be installed to make it right? It is a beautiful car and would be a shame to not get the right look.
Thanks
