It looks like its pushing this part of the hood outwards. The top area seems to sit down onto the hood lacing perfectly. I would also look at the rear part of the side panel hinge assembly to determine why it may be pushing the top panel outwards. Hopefully it will be something simple and easily corrected with a bit of twist and pressure ??? I would stripe it after you rectify the alighnment. mike lynch

Well, we're going to have to live with it. I'm sure trying to bend it some more would crack the finish and I'm not going there. Best Regards, Pat

What are the odds of them being the same color as the car? You can hardly see them, making it difficult to tell if they are straight. The orange will certainly tell whether they are. I put them on three times in places. Almost ran out. I was dizzy and cross-eyed when I got done. Best Regards, Pat

Take a look at your last picture, on the ground to the right side is a "Church Key", now don't tell me that it was there to open a can of paint.

Makes sense to have a CHURCH KEY laying around because in first picture it appears Pat is praying to the Chevrolet god ? mike lynch

It actually is easier to paint between invisible tapes than to apply them. And yes they are incorrect but isn't that old crock pretty with her "lines"? Best Regards, Pat

I keep thinking back to the first time I saw a picture of your car and said, "No way will I ever be around to see that finished if ever." Amazing. I think I'm a fairly wise person because I'm smart enough to realise I'm not too bright.
