Has it endured any major frame damage in the past?

Jeez, if you spent as much mney under the hood as it looks like you have on cosmetics you'd be running 14's easy!

There's some adjustment if you take the dashpad off. You'll see a couple of big nuts at eather end of the dash that you might be able to loosen and push the whole dash to one side then re-tighten. That's about the only thing I saw last night while putting my new/used dashpad in.

no no major frame damage in the pasti had a litle bit of damage to the front nose last year but nothing too extreme to make my frame crooked and i ajust installed sub frame connectors . they went in fine so im assuming no frame damage but the door was rubbing the dash way before any of this

my whole entire dash piece....the plastic part that the pad sits on was actualy set a little off to the passenger side....causing the dash pad to hit the door pannel. that is another thing that could possibly be causing the problem. id check to see if the dash pad can just be adjusted first.
