Auto body repair & detailing: Replacing my hood, dodge ram 1500, radiator support


Question
Im replacing my hood on my 98' Dodge ram 1500, I've got the idea how to line everything up but im having trouble lining up the front on the hood, it looks good aginst the windshield or cab area it's just the very front im have trouble with, do you have any tips?

Answer
These things are mass produced- and it's a truck. It's lines aren't going to be the same as a BMW. Don't worry about the alignment of the hood to the cowl- get it to align to the fenders. Your only other option is to try to slide over the radiator support- a tall order on a Ram. BIll
