Hood problems

They are very tricky to adjust. I noticed you don't have factory bolts, I feel for you guys that don't have a big stash of them.

The bar, with the nuts welded to it, that is inside the sheet metal of the hood, needs to be at the right angle, or it will bind the hinges going down. I have fought this deal a few times, especially on this last hood where I had to repair that area.

If you have that right, you need to adjust it well away from the cowl, so it can clear it, then work back from there.
