Well I finally found out why the LH front fender won't line up.... First hint

Second hint....

Third hint and your out.... it is the wrong damn radiator support! It was cut to fit and has the wrong angle where the fender attaches...

So then I started looking closer..... Both shock upper supports had been either cut or cracked and welded too....

See how if I align the fender with the frame edge, like it should be then the fender will line up everywhere.... I searched and search but can't see evidence anything else but the radiator support was replace....

Mystery solved but solution is still rattling around in my head. Over an the SPI forum this sprayer has been in service for 15 years for some people using the 710 wax and grease remover. Rumor is the 700 will eat the seals so this is just for the 710. It works nice but it should for the price. I could barely get 2 weeks out of Ace chemical resistance spray bottles at $9 a clip so this will pay for itself.

See why I was out of gas, hose had a split.... 2 hour round trip to get another was not going to happen so red-neck ingenuity...
