      The front bodywork is aligned and definitely not the source of the problem but now remember why the subframe is out of alignment from the vehicle centerline.

      About 4 years ago, I needed to replace the oil pan gasket. The car has a Canton road race pan that needs additional clearance over a stock pan to remove. I chose to drop the subframe and keep the engine lifted rather than pulling the engine. When reattaching the subframe, I didn't spend extra time to realign the subframe thinking it would be "ok" since it was only vertically dropped. Looks like I was wrong...

      While under the car, I noticed that there is a transmission-to-tunnel clearance problem on the driver's side. This is probably how the subframe got "pushed" to the right when bolting it back in. I can trim off an unnecessary lifting loop from the trans case if I can find a saw small enough to get into the tight space.

      Funny how you forget things you did during the span of an 8 year project...
