hood hinges problem

[swinginswinger]

just painted my 72 dart and i went to install the fiberglass hood on the that and it bolted easy.  It will not close. that is the not the problem (ill worry bout that later).  The problem is the pass. side of the hood overlaps the cowl by 3/8 of an inch plus. driver side is just about perfect.   the driver side hood hinge has foward and back adj to meet the hood.  the pass side has up/dowm adj.    I went to look at the parts dart, and this is vise-versa.   do i have have to break the mounting plate in the hood to adj this?

You could groove the hinge mount point or shave the glass.

thank you,  that is what i was thinking.  why is there no problem with the factory hood, and why are the hinges different on the other car?

it's because people can't fellow directions.
