[Mgs] hood insulation

[Councill, David]

Getting the hood re-aligned can be a problem after you remove it. It is
not a big problem but it can be time consuming to get it centered so
that it looks correct and opens/shuts easily. Someone suggested, maybe
on this list, to drill two separate 1/8" holes into each bracket. The
idea being that you can then center those holes using pins or small
screws to get a perfect match to the alignment and then bolt the
brackets back on. I hope this makes sense but if you look at the area
where you remove the bolts holding the hood on you should see what I
mean. I haven't done it yet but will next time I have to remove the
hood.

my 73 roadster probably lost its hood insulation a long time ago.

I'd like to first clean up that area (its ugly!) and then i've got some
dynamat that i'd like to put in, and then paint it with truck be liner
or
something like to cover the aluminum look.

my question: how difficult is it to reinstall the hood?  i'm thinking it

will be much easier to remove it to work on.
