So I found a hood in Dallas a couple weeks ago around Easter off a 2ga and after sanding it down and doing a half ass prime job just so Im not driving a Christmas tree around til I can get it painted back green. So anyways I just got it put on my 2gb and id doesnt line up right. I dont know if its because my fenders look warped and mishaped or what but heres some pics. The last pic is of a huge ass dent on my passenger side rear quarter and I was just wondering what would be the easiest way to fix it.

some more pics
the hinges for the hood are adjustable. loosen the hinges and adjust the hood properly.
you are going to need a slide hammer to get that rear quarter pulled out.

yeah like they said adjust the hinges for the hood, and also if its not sitting at the right height in the front there are some adjustable rubber bushings that the hood sits on

Not real sure maybe a month or two. Im kinda stuck on choosing colors though.. I dont know if I want to keep it the stock monarch pearl green or go with a new Corvette color and paint it Jetstream Blue...

You can adjust your fenders as well....loosen the bolts as well as the bolt that is in the door jam like and even it our. Had to do that to may 2G eclipses.
