Gonna ask, but betting there's not much I can do about it.
64 Plymouth. Not the original hood for the car. But, figured a 64 hood would fit right, regardless.
I took this car down, every bolt and nut, to the bare shell. Also had to remove the cowling plate, to deal with the usual rusted area at the driver's side. For what it's worth, cowl was put back on, using the original spot weld locations, across the board.
Entire car was painted...apart...separate pieces.
Problem...hood to cowling fit. The rear of the hood, center, is too high...about 3/8" too high.
Worked half a day, on the floor, with the hood, trying to take out some of the height. But, only lowered it around an eighth of a inch.
Both rear edges will go flush, but that's about it.
Suppose I'm stuck?
