With the rainy season coming here on the Central Coast of California, I decided to put the bonnet on the car for the winter. I had my hood hinges painted as well as the front valence.
After much effort of adjusting and tweaking, and doing it again and again, I tightened everything up. Well sort of.
Anyway, I lifted the now attached hood, then it happened.
The passenger side of the hood went down, then came that ugly sound of paint being scraped off.
Yes, I did not tighten that side, so now I have bare metal where paint should be...
Oh, any hints on how to keep the stayrod from rubbing on the inner fender well, and how much gap do you guys have between the bonnet and the scuttle panel?
