[Chevelle-list] 1965 Hood Alignment

[Devin]

Dennis-  My 64 had similar problems as well.  I adjusted the hood as far as
it would go within the factory holes on the fender side of the hinges, but
it just wasn’t enough.  I assume that’s because it wasn’t anything special
to anyone until I got it in 1990.  I know it’s been wrecked a couple of
times, and has front fenders and hood all off of different cars.  I ended up
opening up the lower holes just a touch to make everything line up properly.

Hi Guys,

 

When trying to adjust my hood so the back edge aligns with the cowl, I
grabbed my GM Body Service Manual and GM Assembly Manual to check out how
the factory tells us to do it.  At present the hood is about 1/4" higher.
But... they do not address the issue at all.  Am I missing a chapter?  Is
there a simple procedure?

 

Thanks,

Dennis McGillis
