Hood hinges or struts
HI all,
I have a 91 305 firebird in which the hood when it's closed sits lower than the fender, in other words is not aligned (see picture).
It also opened sideways. Is this due to hinges going bad? struts? both?
If the hinges is the problem, can they be repair or time to replace them?
Thanks in advanced!

Thanks. That's what i thought. The hood was replaced by the same type of stock hood, but in better condition.
How did you fix yours? New hinges?
