hood hinges
I have found every time I open my hood on my 66 panel the hinge locks in place and I have to pull each of them forward to keep the hood from buckling. Any ideas? Thanks

Re: hood hinges
They move freely but open up to much. Its as if they open up further than they should and then lock up.

Re: hood hinges
The area where the stop is may be worn or bent. Take a careful look at them and see where they stop when fully open and you should be able to see the area. Oiling couldn't hurt either.
