Bonnet fitment

How do you like that brit subject.

Used the wooden block trick to bind the center of the bonnet up, did not damage the paint.

Unbolted the drivers side hinge and opened the bonnet. With a friend.

I note that the hinge is indeed bent a bit, not a prob can fix that easly and even drill a few more holes for attaching the bonnet.

Would you beleive that the right radiator support is bent forward about a quarter of an inch or so and is keeping the bonnet from going all the way back. Have not discovers where on the radiator shroud that it is hitting yet but looks like I just may be able to make it fit properly.

Need to jack the front end so I can see with the bonnet down. Of course, I can only do this when I have help. But time is not a problem.

Had to come in and cool off, too darn hot to stay out there more than an hour at a time and I already did the yard today.

What I need is a good movie.
