82 Fj60 hood alignment, hitting cowl (1 Viewer)

[bhsdriller]

Need some more help with a new to me 60. Hood was opening ok, seemed like the hinges were sticking some but turns out it was the hood hitting the cowl.
Now can't get it open at all. You can see where the paint is getting rubbed off. I assume if I can get it open enough I can loosen the hinges.

Is it supposed to sit that low toward the middle of the hood? Corners look ok, passenger side looks a little raised

To add it lines up really well in the front

Hinges adjust. Loosen cowl hinge bolts, keep snug but enough to move with some push, adjust as needed, tighten. Be careful as you test you dont peel paint if adjustments are too much. A rubber mallet tap works well.

Thanks i'll try it once I can get it open all the way. You talking the hinge on the cowl side and not the hood side right

Cowl side. Hood side is for sideways and front/back adjustment
