You may wanna consider some new hood hinges. If original they are ready to fail.

kind of. they were ment to be greased normally, which no one ever does. Sooner or later the hood starts to hit the fender. Its a common problem and most have had them replaced under warranty. I had mine replaced this summer.

Im am doing the same build as you at home right now. Except Im beating you

Here are a few of mine so you dont feel like your by yourself in the "death sentence" of a job.
