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.

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.
