Hi I have replaced the entire front end of my 65 bus. What should the gap be between the back edge of the bumper and the front sheet metal; at the center, over riders, door hinge and end on the dogleg. Everything is new except the doors. Thank you in advance .

What are you trying to accomplish? Once everything is bolted up, there's not a lot of adjustment; personally I try to get the front of the bumper as close to the nose as I can - I think it looks better that way.
