help with hood fit needed


Recommended Posts

Success!!!!   Well, at least mostly.  The hood looks much better than it did before--still not concours perfect, but acceptable.  here's what I did:

 

1.  Removed the latch mechanism and installed hood pins where the hood bumpers on the firewall were.

2.  closed the hood and loosened all the hinge bolts.  pushed down as hard as I could while tightening the bolts.  This is definitely a 2 person job, but I had to do it by myself.  that was a struggle.

3.  loosened the bolts holding the hood to the hinge. pushed down and back as hard as I could while tightening those bolts.

 

now all I have to do is fine tune the hinge pins to get the rear of the hood perfectly even with the fenders.

 

Thanks for all the helpful advice.
