The middle is hard to do. Breakout the plumb bob. Looks great! I have been trying to center my hood all day yesterday and still havent burned a tack weld to it yet until ifs perfect.

Looks like my Photo site host Fotki is having some difficulties.. This will most likely affect a lot of photos on the Forum. Not on the main site though, those are all hosted locally.
I will check to see if they mention anything going on on their site.

Pull your bloody hair out…the hood is not dead center…you would have to shift whole front about 1 inch…to far gone to rip it all apart..I reckon the hood is right…the fenders somehow off ..fuck it

Barry, I have an idea: If you slot the mount hole(s) for the radiator support bolts, you could nudge the front clip over enough to align your world. May take a port-a-power, bottle jack, or some leverage, but it could solve the problem. Don’t weaken, you’re almost there!
