Foulplay

[Lenie]

Thanks guys, leaving Thursday and not quite ready yet. Got one header off that I had to modify, sent it back to the coaters and hopefully getting it back tomorrow, hoods off, could never get it to fit quite right with the fesler billet hinges even though I could get it to lay down perfect w/the original hinges and today I couldn't take it anymore so I removed the billet hinges and decided to modify them a tad on the milling machine....well there goes any warranty but there wasn't anything I could do to make them fit right..we'll find out tomorrow if it worked out..these were things I was going to do this winter after enjoying it for the summer but you know the deal..it's SEMA time, been driving it this summer so the cars going to get buffed out Wednesday and then loaded onto the trailer ready to roll... pretty stoked. See ya all there!

Shoulda taken the header over to my buddy Brad at Performance Coatings -- I'd have made a call and made sure it was DONE!

Replace that Fesler stuff with some Ring Brothers. See ya in Lost Wages dude!

^ Lenie I've got a set of air frames on the shelf if you want me to overnight them in the morning. No idea what the shock pressure is, but worth a try if you want. This is the big dance you know

Greg, I did take it to your buddy over at Performance Coatings and man he has went above and beyond to help me out. I couldn't have asked for more and yeah, this winter I'll probably trade them out for Ring Brothers hinges if I don't sell it first and move on.

I have ring brother hinges and I had to stand on my hood with Tim, like Mario did, and still had to take the hinges to the milling machine to get more adjustment. You got to realize that we are working to tighten all the gaps and get perfect panel alignment on the car. Every car is different and some need more adjustment.

Lenie I can't believe you couldn't get them to work. There is a ton of adjustment . Is your hood OEM or AfterCrap? I had a problem with mine only to figure out it was the AfterCrap hood causing the problem! So I had to adjust accordingly!

To funny, Mario it's the original hood, I just ran out of downward adjustment on the back bolt slots. I was told to work the forward and back bolts together until it settled in but that just didn't do the trick so I re machined the slots and shoulders, but I do like your approach and have taken that same route in the past.
