Hood alignment
I marked the old hinges but they are still off. Whats the best way to align the hinges .Anyone know how they do it at the factory? On t.v. the other night it looked like the hood was on the c-6 before the front bumper was on! I hope I don't have to do that! 
Thanks, Jim

If it's close now... I have just snugged the bolts down, then tap lightly on the hinges with a hammer to move it whichever way it needs to move... BE CAREFUL not to ding the hinges!! Use a block of wood or something similar to protect them... They don't have to be real snug either... just so that it stays where you tap it too... And I do mean tap, not whack it with a hammer!!
I'm sure there's better ways though...
