OK, thanks.
I also wondered if the car was bent, but it does not show any other signs of damage, and paint is original.
Washers on DS actually would make things worse (hitch goes inside DS, outside PS).
I noticed that the tie-down holes on the car are radius-ed (I assume for greater strength). I wondered if it was a good or bad idea to grind those down flush (probably only worth 1/8 inch, and not a fun job).
So, from your experience it sounds like adding spacers/washers to take up the gap is a safe option, correct?
From that PS photo, you can see where the hitch will rest against the frame. It overlaps to the outside a bit. Is that a concern?
