Fender/Hood Alignment
Got some questions about aligning the fenders and hood. My dad just bought this 92 Z-28 The previous owner replaced the passenger side fender and got a cowl hood from Hawks. The passenger side fender lines up good until you get to the top of it by the door. It sticks out too much. The problem with the hood is it sits ok on one side and on the other side there is a big gap. What bolts do I need to adjust to fix this? I attached some pics to show what Im talking about. I will be busy searching lol.

there are big screw on each side near the bottom of the hood maybe 6 inches up and right inside the fender (front of the car). just twist them down on the drivers side and twist it up on the passengers.

as for the front of the hood...wow...that hood looks like it was molded pretty bad. The fiberglass looks really wavy...and not even. I doubt you can do alot about that. As for the fender. If you remove the splash shield, there should be a bolt in there that holds the middle part of the fender to the car. Loosen the bolt, push the fender in (aligned with the door) and tighen the bolt. That should work. Do you know if the fender is aftermarket or GM?

I think the fender is an original gm. I will have to email the previous owner to double check though. Yeah the hood could be a lot better. It kind of looks like its warped. Might just have to try and find a 91-92 Z hood if it can't be fixed.
