Hood Hinge Problems

[2+2GT]

I know that there is more than up and down involved, but I can not go up or forward anymore. It appears to be at the limit of adjustment.

The rest of the hood lines up well though. I wonder if it is the repop hinges?

Don't think in two dimensions. Rotate the hinge on the bolts. Yeah, the slots don't go that way, but it works.

Thats an interesting idea. It makes sense. I am going to try that tomarrow. Thanks for the tip.

A hinge on my 67 bound up and ripped one of the nuts off the inner fender.

I do not know if it was the hinge binding, or the sheet became weak and warped slightly causing it to bind.

I do know that it bend the oem hinge and tweaked some sheet metal.

I got the hood to fit pretty well now. I also got the stainless steel version of the Shelby style hood prop. It works well.
