Default 1969 hood to nose fit question for the experts

does the 69 400 hood align even with the front of the fenders or does it protrude slightly past the end of the fenders to match the small offset in the headlight cushions? Thanks in advance. Paul.

I'll post a pic of the relevant page from the 69 bird manual when I get a chance.

The front edge of the hood should match the front edge of the fenders. Also, the rear edge of the hood should match as closely as possible to the rear edge of the fenders. This will become obvious when you go to align the entire front end. Have patience, the 69 Bird front sheetmetal takes time to align properly.
