Default Re: 1940 Ford Hood Alignment
Perhaps you can FIRST loosen ALL the front end sheet metal bolts, including the grille and grille sides. Then first realign the hood, fenders and running boards as the loosened bolts will give you some "play". If you use 1/4 bolts for the grille, you may find you can move it up and down to help hood alignment. For the running boards you may have to also loosen the rear fenders. Click on photo to enlarge.
