'56 hood

Any tips on adjusting the bolts to get a better fit for the hood on my '56? Specifically, I'm trying to get the rear edge to sit down a little lower when the hood is closed. Happy, as always, to go with trial and error, but would appreciate hearing from anyone who has already done it. Thanks!

Re: '56 hood

When I replaced my hinges, I had to elongate the bolt holes to gain more vertical adjustment

Re: '56 hood

It looks like I've got some room to play with on the holes.
