Need hood help!

[Guy G]

Good evening fellow builders
Hood is driving me crazy
Set one adjustment and another is out and so on and so on….
A little high in the front, adjust for that and the gap at the cowl grows. It’s great that we have so many adjustments but sucks that we have so many available adjustments.
Any words of wisdom?

Which hood hinge do you have? The original (Gen 1) or the upgraded one?

Gen 2

Because the grill is slanted, when you drop the front of the hood down it will move forward. Compensate by then adjusting the hood rearward using the six hinge bolts on the hood. Leave the engine side covers off if using them. Try to make the adjustments with the hood down and have all the bumpers taped in place.

Thanks!
I’ll add that to my list for this weekend
