Hood Alignment Issues
Can anybody shed some light on how to align the hood. I've got some issues mostly on my driver's side. My passenger side looks pretty close.

Make sure your hinges are well lubed, and the pins not worn out, then trial and error. I fooled with mine for a few hours befor I discovered the hinge points were worn out on one side. I had another hinge, and put it in. oiled it up and then it only took 15 min to adjust it. When adjusting, only adjust in one direction at a time (leave on bolt tight and loosen the others. Use some chalk to outline where it is now, so if you adjustment makes it worse, you can go back.
Hope that helps some.

I'd bet loosen your front hinge bolts, move it down a bit. and lube em up good. Looks like mine did and that worked for me. & make sure your hinges are lubed. and be patient.

Not knowing how the front sits or how the back aligns up, I would loosen the bolts enough to push the hood to the drivers side a bit to even the gap out between the two fenders. If that doesnt work it means the hinges are bent a bit and worn and you probably then need to open the hood and push from the pass. towards the drivers side a few times checking to see if you have evened out the gap so that its the same for the two fenders.
