Topic: 1967 Shelby Hood hinges and alignment. Techniques.

[1967 eight barrel]

Does anyone have simplified instructions for initial set up of the hood hinges and alignment procedures for the hood? The Shelby factor shouldn't make a difference, however I know how the hinges are set up will determine if the hood sits up above the cowl, which seems to be very common.

Anyway, if there is a Youtube video, or you've mastered the hood alignment help would be appreciated.

Segment two. Being this is a replacement hood, there are no holes for the hood pins. I noted from the OE remnants that the holes were much larger than the pins. Could someone give me a measurement off their original hood?

I guess no one here has ever installed and aligned a hood and hood hinges, so here is a link that sheds some light on the subject matter.

The painter made a mistake on my hood and took it off before the vehicle came home. He didn't mark anything, so I am essentially starting over. He also aligned it without the springs on the hinges. Makes sense to get it all aligned before the engine goes back in. I won't have to fight the booster or anything in the process.
