there used to be a guy on FBBO with a '69 GTX running a Six Barrel with a steel hood.

Now that I know the steel hood will work, I will be installing this weekend, I do not expect any issues, but if there are some left or right spacing issues how do you adjust this ? forward and up and down Hight
are easy. not sure about left or right

Thanks Tom C.

I did not see any spacer's behind the Hinge to the inner fender. Think where the hinge bolt's to the hood should be some adjustment. Left right back and front. Are you going to cut it and put the air grabber in. Or just leave it a sleeper.

 

[TOMRR]

Sleeper. The bolts that attach the hood to the Hinge can only move the hood forward or back. I meant space between fenders

I hate aligning hoods

 

[Russ69Runner]

Yea under stand that. Still seams that their should be a way to move it from side to side. Hate bending the hinge to make it line up. Have you put it on yet and what is the gap between the fender's. Maybe body shims can be used behind the hinge bracket to the inner fender if you don't need that much adjustment.

This AM. I measured two spots on hinges from fender to hinge on both sides and all are the same , So I thinking it should be pretty good

 

[TOMRR]

Well Steel hood install went very well, a little adjustment forward and up and down , Fender gap not perfect but not bad, will shim hinge on another day, off about 1/16+ on passenger side

Oh heck TOMRR bet the factory had it that close. I would be happy with 16th. of an inch. Bet you can't notice it at 65 miles and hour going down the road. LOL. Let see some pic's when you get time. Russ.
