There is nothing in the way. I tried bolting it up front or back. First the rear bolt and then the front bolts. When I remove the rear both and mount only the front bolt to the radiator support all the holes inside the fender match up to the frame. However the rear bolt is off by about 3/4 to an 1 inch.

When I remove the front bolts and only bolt it at the rear, nothing lines up.

I am afraid I am going to have to loosen all the body mounts and try to rock the body forward to make up that distance. The holes through the body may have enough play to allow it.
