nice

Thanks people, now the second hardest thing to do is put it on and line it up where it closes good. Any suggestions from anybody that has found a easy way to do this. If I am not mistaken, if I set my hinges lower in the back it brings the back of the hood down. Its been a long time since I have had to put one on.

First off find a couple very careful friends to help you i also used 3m scotchcal tape [the clear protective tape they use on hoods for stone protection] on the back sides of the hinge to protect the paint on the fenders when adjusting the hood. You will not see the tape when the hinge is bolted on.
