i replaced my hood hinges on my car and bolted on the hood tonight , the hood fits ok on one side but is to high on the other side ( higher than the fender about one inch )
i checked the hinges and they are bolted even on the fender on each side , i dont see any possible adjusment on the hinges
STRANGE !!!

ONE THING I HAVE NOTICED THE HINGES ARE NOT THE SAME ON EACH SIDE
THE BRACKET THAT HOLDS THE SPRING ON ONE SIDE DIES NOT HAVE THE SAME ANGLE ONE HAS A GREATER ANGLE THAN THE OTHER ( I AM REFERING TO THE BRACKET THE CLOSEST TO THE FIREWAL )
I WILL POST PICS IN A COUPLE OF DAYS
