Default 69 GTO Hood Problem

I have a 1969 GTO , I installed the hood and the back on both sides is sticking up. I have tied every possible bolt location with no luck. When i push down on the back of the hood the hood goes down ?

This is typical of old worn hinges. Your hood is fine but new hinges will correct your problem.

I think you loosen bolts push up on hood re tighten while pushing up. Make sure you lube hinges good, 69 hoods kink real easy when trying to close them.
