Danny,adjusting the hood to the shell and cowl is touchy.It can be be done with a little patience.It took me about 2 days to get mine right.Mine is a 3 piece glass hood.I had to move the radiator and shell to make it fit.

What type hood (steel,glass,1,3,0r 4 piece)are you trying to fit?

As far as trimming the glass hood pieces to match the body and shell,I had to measure twice (caution)and cut.I used tape to lay out the profile on the hood and jig sawed w/n 1/16 in,I then hand worked to the tape line.

CAUTION ::nce the material is cut away it's hard to replace.
