On my 69 Goat, I finally got to reinstall the hood, once all bolted down and tight and the hood is closed, the rear of the hood sticks up a good 3/4", possibly more....it does it more on the pass side than the drivers side. You can push down slightly on the hood and it goes back to the proper position......are these hinges just worn out or am I missing something?

Seems I read somewhere when I was building my 69 Camaro that you could "fix" hood hinges by "smashing" the rivets, or pivot points while they are heated up red hot with a torch, thus expanding the pin and creating less overall slop in the hinge assy.

Anyone heard of this? I'm trying to avoid buying new hinges....I've got more in this thing than I really want.

Thanks for your time guys,
