hey that's a great idea. I'll try that next time I have my hood off (hopefully not anytime soon!).

Originally posted by twright View PostHere's the way I align the hood when I put it back on:
1.) Put the hood back on the hinges with the bolts in and loosely tightened. They should be tight enough to hold the hood, but loose enough so that you can still adjust the hood position.
2.) Line the opening in the body where the hood will sit, when closed, with towels. These towels should be on the edges of the fenders and front of the windshield where the hood interfaces.
3.) SLOWLY and CAREFULLY close the hood. If you have done this SLOWLY and CAREFULLY, the hood will magically align itself.
4.) Slowly raise the hood and tighten all of the bolts.
5.) Close the hood and check the alignment.
Good Idea.I got a fender roller now! LMK if you need me to roll your fenders or want to rent the tool from me locally.

soooo a 23 post thread about putting your hood back on ehh cool, It really isn't that hard people come on get over it. my little brother with no mechanical experience at all (I had to walk him through putting the brakes back together the other day even) had no trouble getting it perfect.
