Cut the head off square then drop down an inch or so(depending on how much tilt you want) and cut a wedge off the neck,then put the wedge and the head back on and rotate the wedge until you get the angle of the head. When you get the angle you was draw some reference marks from the head down the neck and bondo it all back in place.rasp off the excess and clay in any voids that might be there. should work fine. Good Luck Joe M.


thank you joe
