Re: 1961 Crew Max

More metal work. Closing up some major gaps around all door edges. The boss spent A bunch of time on these gaps welding 1/8" welding round. Hood was re-installed along with the cowl pieces. we installed the porterbuilt hood relocate hinges in the cowl. Test fit was all good. Hood was sitting very good and gaps were workable. We put the provided shocks on the hinges and now the passenger side is the same but the drivers side has moved the gap at the cowl forward and up. We switched shocks from side to side and nothing changed. Not positive yet how the shocks would be causing that on just one side. We checked and there is no binding or contact with anything. The opening closing action is very smooth and equal from both sides. Going to get back on it next weekend and see whats needed to get the hood to sit right. CHIZZLER
