'65 Dart Hood Adjustment
From the damage it looks like at some point the hood flew open on the freeway when the hood latch broke free from the core support. Found the latch below pinned under the radiator. Punched 2 holes into the cowl from the rear hood corners and boogered up the alignment. The passenger side hood to hinge is adjusted as far forward as possible already. Can't move the driver side back much or the hood will hit the cowl. Soooo...either the passenger hinge is damaged or there is adjustment still where the hood hinge meets the body under the fender. I just can't tell without removing the front end and fender if that is so or not. You guys with early Darts should know.
