Re: '69 C10 - Black on Black

The hood showed up and doesn't appear to be damaged. The quality level is about as good as you can expect. The spot welds on the back edge are raised so I'll have to do some hammer & dolly work on those. Lots of sharp edges. Fit is okay, except the overall width at the back. The gap between the fender and the hood is almost an inch at the back. What we're thinking about doing is drilling out the spot welds where the rear structure attaches to the skin and then try to bend that brace outwards or put some kind of shims between the two.

You'll see that the grille isn't aligned with the driver side fender in the picture - we took it back off and fixed that as it has been bothering me and it will make the hood/grille gap go away.
