And you want to adjust that hood without the latch installed, then once it's aligned properly then install the latch.
I didn't "work" on my truck today, but spent a bunch of time hauling the front axle to the post office, to find out that it's $100 to ship and my brother stopped me before I did it with a phone call to tell me he ship it for me with his UPS account for about half that. I rather spend that $50 ON the truck than throw it away so I brought the box back home. I then ordered a bunch of stuff on line for the suspension. So I will be ready real soon to get the frame powder coated.
