[Chevelle-list] 1965 Hood Alignment

[Dennis McGillis]

Hi Devin, A good idea.  I sure wish the alignment procedure was in the Chevrolet manuals.
Thanks,
Dennis

  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,
