How to align hood with headlight and front nose
How would I lower the front of my hood to be in line with the front bumper? It bugs me everytime i see it.

Axle/Gears: ones that turn.
First thing, how does it line up at the sides by the front of the fender/nose? If it's high there, you can turn down the rubber bump stops on the upper rad support a bit, and lossen the bolts holding the latch mechanism to the support, and lower it a bit also. If it lines up good along the fenders, you might lower the latch a bit, or install some washers to raise the back edge of the nose up a bit. The washers will go under the screws that hold the nose to the fiberglass headlight bar.

Hey thanks man I'll try the bump stop thing. It's high at the corners and a little in the middle but that should be fixed at the same time.
