hood gap problem (Page 2/2)
Old Lar OCT 01, 06:49 PM
My 88 GT has a hood gap issue and when I looked under the car and had the nose off I noticed that at some point in its life there was an accident and there was a bent support underneath. You'd only notice it when you look close and see the nose gap is a bit wider.

Here's how bad it looked. I will add a few photos Wednesday or Thursday with the fix and more done on the car.

I've been wrestling with my hood for a good minute now and was wondering if anyone could lend some pointers. Thinking maybe slotting the holes as some suggested above would be the best move?

(Mind the paint, lots of body work still in progress)


Basically it's favoring the left side a good bit. As it is in the picture, the height from the bumper there is perfect just the spacing is off. The passenger's side is the exact opposite of pictured here, very close to the bumper and fender. I had it wiggled around in a way that the sides were even but was far to high above the bumper and clipped it when moving up and down.
