front fender adjustment


i  put  my  fenders back  on  my  car this  spring  (  i dont  do  this  very  often  )   now  the  gap  in front  of the fenders by  the  grill  is to  narrow  and  my  hood  does not  fit  well in  that  area  .The   fender  gap  by   the  cowl  is  fine   , but i  have to  adjust  the fenders     in  front 

 

can  someone  give  me any  clues  what  bolts  to  play  with  ..................rad  support   , iner fenders  bolts  on top  of  rad  support

 

thanks

look  at  the  pass side  gap ( hood   / fender (  ,  it  is  fine   ,  but  the  drivers side   gap   is  closing  in  by  the  front  and  i want  to  open  that  gap   by  moving  out  the  fender  to  even  out  the  gap   ....look   at  the  bolt  holes  on  the  rad  support   they   are misaligned.......so  the  front of the  fender  has  to  move  out  a little   ,  WHAT   BOLTS  NEED TO  BE   AJUSTED  ??????????

 

THANK YOU  ALLL

Try loosening the bolts that hold the hood, theres usually a little play in the holes to shift the hinge to the outside edge of the hood. That will open up the hood to fender gap a bit. Otherwise, shift the hood up or down( front to back) on one hinge or the other to move of the hood left or right at the front.

Also with the fender, your saying it wont move over to get the holes lined up w the rad support? The grill could be holding it back, or some of the front bolts on the inner fender could be preventing it from moving.

Measure across the front and back,,,is the opening square?  You may have to slot the fender openings to get it perfect...

 

try loosening everything ofForrest to get alignment
