You sure that frame you bought wasnt bent?
If it is bent, it's bent a whole lot less than the one I pulled out. When I pulled the radiator core support body mount bolts out everything on the front clip jumped back the the DS on the original frame. As I was hit on the DS going to the PS.
I'm sure there is a lot of stuff slightly "tweaked"
Things like DS fender needs to be tweaked back so my headlight assembly mounts correctly.

I haven't even mounted the hood yet 🫣

Put the hood on it and square up the sheet metal. That fender brace on the fire wall could be bent as well as a few other things. That should give you a better picture of what's going on.
