Default Re: Hood adjustment

I had the same problem as you have. I am building a car from the ground up and my frame and subframe were perfectly straight. I had to have two thick pads under my rad so the metal strap under the bottom rad hose would clear .I had a gap like you have. I took a old ford original rad and set it beside my new rad and it was easy to see why. I had to cut the metal strap under the lower rad hose and shorten it to allow the rad to sit lower. I cut the strap with a zip wheel and was very careful not to damage the rad, I bought the rad from Sacramento Ford and sending it back was not a option I live in British Columbia
