Re: I need very expreience help in hood to latch to bumper to fender alignment
I had the whole front end on, fender gaps adjusted, hood latches working, but wasn't close enough to perfect. If it was standard adjustments I could do it. I trained with Gordon Killebrew . I also have the adjustment notes. it seems the hood at the cowl is over to the passenger side about an 1/8 of an inch. I can and have shimmed it and made it work, I have just put too much time and money in this car to not be right. I am having it put on a 3-D Jig Wednesday for a check, if it needs a slight adjustment he will do it, if not, I will feel ok about shimming it. I just hate putting all the time in it to put it together to take it back apart, its gonna look great though (IMHO). Here is a picture of two days wasted work.... on another note, I am having the skid bars powder coated while they are off, should had already done that. If back my holds up, I am going to try to get the A and B pillar weatherstrip on tomorrow and adjust the windows. I am having a terrible time getting inner door seals, the ones I keep getting (including NOS that wasn't ) are about a inch longer than the ones that came on it, and they have bendable tabs, they should be stapled , I am more concerned about the extra length of the inner sweeps...can anyone tell me more about the inner sweeps? Other than the slotted holes, do the bumper braces have shims (see pic below)
