Default Re: "The Beater Bee" becomes "The Better Bee"

You think YOUR hood is hard to align? Try aligning something with 4 pins that each go in any direction they want to and when you tighten the bolts down, they move, which screws up what you thought you had initially lined up perfectly!!!! [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/thumbsdown.gif[/img]
I think I got the gaps pretty close right now, but still some more massaging to do on. These hood pins use 5/8&quot; heater hose as spacers on the hood. The idea is you push the hood down which compresses the rubber (never a good thing..I'm just sayin') and when you install the pin, that makes a nice rattle-free and secure hood hold down. How the heck they did this on the line in the time allowed as the car came rolling down is beyond me. This took 5hrs, 3 beers, 4 lost tools after they became airborne somehow, and a whole lot of words used I never even thought I knew!

I'm pleased with the line up so far, but there's still some tweaking to do.
