If your only having a "little trouble" fitting the hood, your doing way better than me.

There was some talk related to this just yesterday. Flip over to the next page or two and look for a thread called "56 hood hindge problems" scroll down to AXracer, and he gives a detailed description of fitting the entire front clip. Good stuff.

I started that thread. Guilty as charged. Good stuff in there by several people.

Almost all the 53-56 hoods do not fit properly. Is nearly impossible to get it perfect. I fiddled with mine for days and even had a good body man try. At best it is a compromise of the best poor fit.
