So i was playing with the hood this evening, and i could not get the hood lined up for the life of me, and I found this.....Damnit i knew it was hit some where just couldnt tell (Or maybe I did and i didnt want to think about it) Any one had these issues and is there an easy resolution.....HELP!!!!.....
Inside the Trunk (IMG:http://i328.photobucket.com/albums/l326/walloch/Eric048.jpg) Then this....(Small People helped me take these pictures....) (IMG:http://i328.photobucket.com/albums/l326/walloch/Eric053.jpg) But the Hoods aligned as far back as it can go (IMG:http://i328.photobucket.com/albums/l326/walloch/Eric056.jpg) But... (IMG:http://i328.photobucket.com/albums/l326/walloch/Eric058.jpg) (IMG:http://i328.photobucket.com/albums/l326/walloch/Eric060.jpg) (IMG:http://i328.photobucket.com/albums/l326/walloch/Eric061.jpg) So in the end im stuck with 2 bad things, 1) Hood latch that is catching the front lip and 2) Hood that's hitting the front Lip.... HELP Also is there an easy way to cut out the Original Motor Mounts....I dont want to run them and I want to make sure that the area is well supported (E.G.- New Plating).....Your Thoughts anyone....

Getting the motor mounts off not so hard. Find the spot welds and drill them. Then get a flat thin chisel or heavy duty scraper behind it and it will tap right off. On my car http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?showtopic=87896 I made carboard template of the long under the motor mount area than transfered it to a plate of 1/8" steel. Multiple bung welds and the perimeter welded as well.
 Gonna hang my engine off this and doubt it will rip off, unlike the original mount whose lack of strength was pretty scary. |
