I have a 46 Chevy truck, it came in pieces. This is my first build and with not seeing how it were dissembled, makes it a little challenging to put back together.The problem I’m having now is I have a 1inch gap between hood and grille. It looked good until I installed the curved hood brace and this is where I’m having the problem. I tried moving fender, raising the cab but nothing seems to work. It seems pretty straightforward how the pieces go back together but something isn’t right. Can someone please help, I’ve been working on this for about 2 weeks. Thanks
Reading between the lines here, “a 1 inch gap between the hood and radiator”, I wonder if the radiator hoop may be installed incorrectly. What sequence was used for the nuts, washers, bolts, radiator pads and springs in attaching the hoop to the cross member?
