Hood needs re-alignment!
Hi guys, I'm kinda new to corvettes, just purchased a 2001 Z06 , I noticed the hood is slightly missaligned to the right side , I was wandering if anyone knows if there is a way to align the hood? or is it not able to adjust side to side?? please help, thank you..

determine if your hood needs alignment or if its the fender. Both are easy to adjust by loosening some bolts. Also, helps to have a friend keep it in place while you tighten the bolts.

Thanks, from the looks of it the hood is slightly over to the right , since the gap is larger on the left side, and the gaping around the fenders look perfect..
To adjust the hood over , do i just loosten the 4 bolts that attach the hood brackets to the frame?

you got it. You can also try to loosen the top bolts on the fender and see if there is any give to close the gap. Might work and is slightly easier than doing the hood.
