hoodpins?

Reply #15 –
Looked at it this afternoon.  I see 2 bolts, but I assume the fender hides the 3rd?  If I could find another hinge I would do that.  In my experience, once a hinge bends, they never straighten back out properly, and will tend to bend again.  The hood will be vastly modified anyway, so....

thanx, I get paid next week.

I wonder what caused the hinge to bend/ hood to shift in the first place.  All I did was park it for 4 months with the hood down, but unlatched.
