hood adjustment question (spring hitting hood)

[Ryan]

Hey everyone.

Adjusting panels on my 69 charger.  Passeneger side of the hood fits nice, drivers side is bottoming out on the hinge spring before the hood can close all the way.  Anyone have any suggestions?  Not my first rodeo adjusting these hoods , but i've never had this happen before.

thanks

I know it sounds a silly question, why are you adjusting hood fitment  ?
 are you putting the fenders / hood back on after a restoration or some other work ?
 have you removed the hood hinges from the car & now put them back on  ?
 has the hood / hood hinge / fender alignment ever been ok good  or something new that's happened & your trying to correct it ?


any chance you can take some pictures ? I cant visualise whats  happening  with spring hitting hood
