It seems to be too far back and will not completely line up with the front hood line no matter how far forward I slid the rear hinge brackets. Also, the hinges themselves seem to raise the hood enough in the rear so that it is slightly higher than the contour of the quarter panels. This might all be the result of my buying it used and dealing with the bracket holes drilled by the previous owner if he did indeed drill them. I have never seen a brand new hood though, so I do not know if they were predrilled or if they were measured and done by the guy that had it before me. Your input as to the rear pins is well received and I had concerns along the same lines. Do you know if the bracket holes are pre marked by chance?
