hood adjustment on a 56 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Are there any tricks to getting the back of the hood lower to the cowl? I have adjusted the hinges the whole way up and down. The pic is with the hinge adjusted the whole way up and as low as i can get it.thanks, bud

Might be worn out springs.. Every time I close my hood I have to push down the back edge which is sitting up about an inch...... please don't watch while I do this.

New hood hinges is the fix. are the teeth bent or out of shape?
Snap some pics so I can see the teeth
