1964 hood to big
I went to assemble the front of my c10 and I encountered a problem. My hood sits over the level of were it should be. I thought lowering the hood hinges would work so I grinder a little off the whole that doesn't adjust to adjust it but now it's hitting the pocket on the inner fender and it still isn't level. Any suggestions what to do
I did lower the rear adjacent but when I do it raises the front of the hood and I have to force it to close |

Re: 1964 hood to big
you probably need shims on your fenders to bring them up to your hood. but can't tell from here. LOL pictures would be great

Re: 1964 hood to big
I figured out the problem My inner fender sat to high the gap between the hood and fender was fine but the difference between the hood and the little panel next to the door and I lowered my inner fender which aligned it all.
