Hood adjustment

[usdart]

My hood looks good it just sits an inch too high at the hinge area under the windshield. I looked at it and there seems to be no adjustment to lower it anymore. I loosend the bolts and tapped it down as far as it would go, but, still sticks up about the same.
Any tricks out there?

Just loosen the 2 front bolts on the hood side of the hinge and add shims. That raises front and lowers backside. There is also a thread in this area that explains in more detail and has pics. Ernie

Thank you.....all the pictures really helped me. I was able to adjust it to near perfect with a 1/2" of spacers. It worked very well.

Yea those pictures help a TON of people on and off the forum I get calls daily for hoods and refer them to the pictures before buying. Those adjustments have saved some sweptlines some cash. They really appreciate it.
