Does anyone recall a good technical article appearing in a past edition of "Restorer" that deals with achieving proper hood fit/alignment on a '56-'57 (or an early C1....)? This would include the proper installation/adjustment of the pop-up springs and hood hinges.....
I can't seem to get the hood on my '57 to fit properly..... I've had to slide the hood back so it will clear the front edge of the engine compartment leaving a pretty good-sized gap in front..... also.... the pop-ups are not allowing the hood to go down far enough (level with the sides....) when closing it... I know there must be some "tricks" to getting it right and I would like to know them.
I know someone has written a good "how-to" on this, but I can't seem to find the article.....
Thanks
