Hood Installed

After the hood was assembled back together I temp installed it on truck. Not a one man job but I was able to get it on. The front sheetmetal is not all lined up and gapped so the hood fit but obviously not a good fit. The RH fender is still little low and forward and the hood is about 1/8 to 1/4 inch aft of the fenders. I also stuck on the hood emblem. I then took the truck off the stands so I could get a good shot of the truck the most it has been assembled in many a year.
