Midyear headlight bucket alignment misques

[Michael G.]

Mid years were noted for body panel and door alignment misques. How about headlight bucket alignment with the surrounding panels? Other than misaligned doors weren't there misques in factory alignment with headlight buckets as well? Some fit better than others . What's the perspective taken in judging?

Sure, and almost all had the buckets skewed to the outside. Meaning a thin gap on outer end of the bucket and a wide gap on the inside.
You see them very even on the show field, but that was unusual. How its handled is probably the whim of the judge.
