Hood Fitment to Cowl Photo
« on: August 04, 2014, 11:24:59 PM »
My hood is not fitting well at all to my cowl, going to have to do some bending. Would very much appreciate it if someone could post a couple photos that show the body to hood gap that I should shoot for. A photo across the top and maybe one side shot should suffice. Thanks in advance for your help.

I tried to get too fussy with my fitment but gave up.� Maybe you to are fighting this gap?� Here are some old pics and then what it looks like presently with the same fitment.
