ANSWER: Are you having trouble with aligning the hood with the fenders or assembly in general?

QUESTION: Yes, aligning the hood with the fenders. Mostly the height the same right next to the fenders but overall the whole darn alignment.

thanks

Answer
If you attach the hood to the hinges but only tighten the screws about half way you have a lot of movement in the hood (in terms of left and right).  To change the height of the alignment of the hood you have to change where the hinges are attaching.  If you have a body shop near by they could probably do it for you in 20 minutes.  Just remember to tighten your screws after it looks like you have the alignment right!
