Looks like you're off to a good start so far! Cant wait to see the progression.:thumbup:

Just a heads up though, on the previous page your hood isn't latched properly on the passenger side....adjusting the stops will clean up the lines and get rid of the gap over the headlamp. :)

Oh dang I didn't even realize that. Thank you X5SND. How do I adjust the stops?

X5SND 11-23-2012 04:23 PM

Before u start playing around with them, open the hood and confirm the latch is functioning....open the hood and get someone to pull the hood release from inside. You should see it sliding when they pull. If all looks good, on the hood on either side of the grills, you'll see the spring/plunger that locks the hood. Its the threaded rod has a torx at the end. Turn this to adjust the overall length of the rod, and turn the collar at the end of the spring to lock the rod (and adjust the preload on the hood). It may take some trial and error to get it to sit right, and you may also have to play with with bump stops up by the firewall to get the hood sitting even across the length of the fender.

Unclebuck76, take off the front plate holder. You don't need it here in GA, and the front end would look much cleaner.
