Yes! You totally line up the hood with the front bumper off. You use the hood latch bolts and the bolts that connect the hood hinges to the hood. Last thing you do is test fit the bumper and then make adjustments for the bumper itself. It’s a long process. The longer you spend, the better it will be.
did your targa alignment need adjusted as well ? my father hit a deer in my car recently [c7 2lt] / no damage other than the reflector popped out of the driver side bumper and the roof is gapped a bir up a few millimeters on the driver side. im reluctant to pull all of my 8interior panels to geet to the bolts to adjust the roof alignment. let me know fi you did this or if you have any tips on it im about to tear into my car this weekend. its far past warranty at about 80k miles. so its on me to do all the repairs like normal
If i came to Kansas lol, and im from CA , would you help me obviously i would pay, i bought a red one same c7 and previous owner had front damage would you help me with so panel gaps ?
If you showed up here and I wasn’t working I would try to help out. I’m not savant though, it’s just trial and error and you’re probably just as likely to get it as I am.
This was a great video on the adjustments, thanks for this. I really liked how you showed all the adjustments. Thanks
Thanks for the kind words and thanks for watching!
Excited to see the '66 rebuild project! #PetitionToFinishDadsCar #MDM
Thanks, getting to work!
how do you adjust the hood left and right and forward and back? is there bolts u have to access with the front bumper off ?

Can you show me where the front hood latch screws are located like where the hinges are that hold the hood
It won’t let me post a picture here. Just open the hood, you can see the bolts easily. They are inside going outward.

sry for typos my meds are horrible*
I think I did adjust it a bit but can’t really remember. At the time the entire interior was out of the car and it wasn’t a big deal.
