    I spent weeks geting the hood and hinge system fitted just right on my 32. The biggest help fo me was a video available from Hagan Street Rods
    888-464-2426 which goes step by step through the process of fitting the hood and installing the hinges. You may not be using their hinges but the basic idea is still there.
    Good Luck.... And Be VERY PATIENT!!! the hood on a 32 will make or brake the entire car.

    If your grille shell is at the incorrect height the hood will look like it requires trimming.

    Get the grille shell down where it belongs and the initial fitup will be very close to right on the money and more than likely no trimming required.
