hood alignment

After hours of alignment, got it ! have one problem when I close the hood the drivers rear corner stays up slightly untill you give a little pressure on the corner then it lines up prefect is that a bad hinge?:confused:

did you check the adjustments on the hinge to see if it would drop down ?

Great project!

 

[generaljmwlee]

hinge is all the way down. even slotted the hige hole alittle more.

 

[Donny]

Looking good General!

 

[mattsmopars]

Lookin good. I would say that you have a weak hinge on the drivers side. You might try to lube it and see if that helps it pull down. Matt

If the hinge isnt bad the spring is. Try swapping the springs from one side to the other and see if the problem moves to the other side. And while the spring is off see if the hinge is free.
