Hey Chris...you favorite fan with a trunk alignment question. :-) So my 66 trunk is stock factory, I aligned perfectly, etc. I have now added the striker and lock. Problem I have is when I close to latch, the right side aligns but left side goes almost 1/4" (maybe 3/16) lower on the left so it doesn't align to the corner and MUCH closer t o the tail light. Also I notice it pulls the hood slightly closer to the right - Thoughts 1) lower latch square needs to move LEFT a tad (prevent the trunk from moving right) but how do I make the LEFT corner (near the light)_ HIGHER ? Thanks sir
Hi would you happen to know how to adjust hinge and gap on a 2001 dodge ram 1500, I'm not seeing any videos well said and actually know what they are doing like you . Doesn't hurt to ask.. thank you
Doc...I need your help again !!! My hood hinges on my 1966 Coupe are good (as far as I know) Mounted the hood and I can adjust fore and aft ...but when its aligned along the back as it should be, its too far to the drivers side ..in other words I have a VERY narrow gap on the drivers side by the fender and a REALLY wide gap on the passenger side. How do I move it left to right, right to left ? I am puzzled ...THANK YOU as always
If you are meaning that the side's of the hood is closer to one fender then the other. Open the hood and push the hood over, bending the hinges to the side you want it to go towards. It may take a bit of effort. A little push at a time.
You are awesome as usual ! I kinda of thought that MIGHT be the answer but did not want to do without an expert telling me - you might have had some other tick :-) Thank you again sir...I will send you a small picture video soon...I am an amateur but treating every peace as if I was doing concours ...it wont be but attention to detail
Hey Chris, I have a question for you. I have a 66 Mustang with dynacorn fenders and hood. I have a bow in the hood by the fenders. How often do you have to shim the fenders to bring them up to the hood?
1980 Z28 my hood when closed above the hinges on both sides standing up higher then the rest of the hood..... it closes fine but open tough... how do you lower the hood corners to proper alignment?
Very informative and we'll done video, you can tell this man has a passion for cars!

What’s a good source for replacement hood hinge assemblies? I have a 71 Ranchero I’m working on, will a Mustang assembly work?

Bill Hoop adjust the two pins on either side of the hood down.
how about a 75 Buick LaSaber .. having a hard time lining up the truck
Good vid, but still waiting on an actual "how to" demo of someone actually aligning the hood.
I need instructions on '55 tbird hood
Thanks so much
