Thank you Jim...... ( i'll never let that one die ) ..lol. I have the same problem.
I also did something to my hood hinge on my drivers side, It made an extremely loud BANG and now my hood will not go down even with the cowl. I thought I broke the spring but the person that I want to paint my hood says different ..... he knows his stuff so Ill let him decide once he gets the car. Thanks for looking ....... How have ya been?
