Re: Hood doesn't latch 58-59

Yep - hood sitting down on the bumpers in front and on the sides at the fenders. Gaps at fenders are equal and just right. Back sets down on the cowl. I'll try to get a couple photos.

One thing I noticed at a car show this weekend is I saw a restored truck that had really thin bumpers on the grill surround where the hood comes down. Maybe 1/8th of an inch or slightly more. Mine are more like 3/8 thick. What is correct? Removing the bumpers had no effect though.
