Very nice, Tom.

As to your headlight misalignment issue -- only if you removed the
headlights -- and if you did, then it's likely just a case where the buckets
are too far forward due to the top screws (radiator support) being too far
forward as well. So to start with, I'd loosen them and pull them back a
bit.  Then if needed, you can still work the adjusters -- provided
theyrernot binding.
