84 camaro nose cone not straught...help

Hello fellow third geners! My front end is really out of whack. Not sure why this is happening. Is this a difficult thing to fix? or is it something I should be able to do easily. I have pretty bad arthritis in my hands so, well this is why I am asking. I don't want to start something I can't finish....here's some pics.


Passengers side




Drivers side



Thanks in advance for any advice.

My bumper does the same thing on the corners...the bumper cover just flexes in in those areas making it look off. If you pull it straight you'll understand what I mean. As far as fixing it, I'm not sure. If there is a way I'd love to know!

EDIT: Now that I look closer...looks like you might need to loosen the bolts and just readjust the cover.

Looks like passenger side cover is not properly on the headlight mounting panel. Sorry about your friend Arthur, he is a pain. So is removing that front cover but it probably will have to come completely off to get the cover in the right place. You may not have to, you could try to loosen it at the fender and push it back in. I've found that some times the covers that are tucked in toward the fenders are low in the middle. Raising the h/l mount panel in the middle a little seems to help a little. Good luck with it, I'll try and help you as much as I can.
