need help are there any size differences in a master grill shell and a standard one. Having trouble lining up the hood, seams radiator shell must be raised way up to line up hood with body then head lite bars do not line up

Yes. The master & standard are different sizes. Give me a PM with your phone number & I can call you about 7pm your time. I have both at home.

If you've had the body off the car for restoration, you may want to double check that all the correct blocks and shims went back in when the body went back onto the frame.

All the Best, Chip
