Hey guys,
I'm having the 97 Style VFn hood painted and fitted at the shop right now. So far the hood's dimensions are correct, it fits great front to rear but the problem is in the hood latch area. The OEM latch is a bit further foward than VFN's cutout for the striker plate.
Does anyone know how to solve this problem, is there another striker plate that I can get from VFN or does something need to be custom built??
I'm going to call VFN and try and get some additional help, but I was just wondering what to do from those who have "been there, done that".
Also, where can I get lighter weight hood struts? I told the shop NOT to hook up the OEM T-bird struts because I don't want to break the hood.
I also asked the shop if they can fit the stock hood liner to the fiberglass hood and there are no holes or attachment points, what solutions have you guys come up with?
Thanks for any and all of the help, once this is done, I'd like to take some shots......
