Ok, some of ya'll might have seen my post in the welcome section and seen what my blazer has gone/gotten through. Well the end is near but now im at a stopping point. FINALLY found a hood that was the right color so I don't have to paint in EXCELLENT shape but it won't line up right with the fenders/locking mechanism. Ive tried everything loosen the fenders/hood/core support and still no luck. I finally got it to latch, but it has a good size gap on the passenger side with slim to none on the drivers side. Im not going for perfect by all means, but I don't want it to look the way it does and im doing this on a VERY slim budget so at this point a body shop is out of the question. ANY suggestions will help a HUGE amount!!!

did you try and adjust the rubber stoppers above the grill? they look like rubber screws on both sides near the fenders

If it's none of that I'm thinking it might be some bodywork.

hello have you tryed to shove it over to the right?put hood up and shove it to right very hard sometimes the hood hinges get bent so thats how you adjust them seeing that they do not have adjusting bolts also make shure your ft end is still square measure it cris cross yea it sounds funny but it works.
