opions please

I am not lookn to make money. Just want somethin cool and different from the norm that fits me. I went and looked at it today. Boy a 4 door is long. She looks mint on the outside but the inside is ROUGH. It runs pretty good too. I am still thinkn this over as I am limited on funds.

So something I notice was that there is a gap of bout half inch after the hood. So the grill and hood dont meet together. Any ideas of why this might be.

Does any one have a line on parts for a four door car. Plastic trim panels in blue is what I would like to see if any are availible and the dreaded cost for said parts.
thanks

There are a few 4-drs sitting up here, but none are '73's and none with blue interiors. Can always paint trim if you can find it. I'm sure I could help with a few pcs...just not sure about those side trims with the non-retractable shoulder belts. Just be aware that the "A" pillars and front/back headliner trims are not the same length as on 2-drs. Be glad to investigate next time out.

If you have the time that would be awesome. Dont go too far out of the your way though I havent committed to buying this but it would be nice to know before I throw down some cash.

Somethin I noticed on this car was there is a gap at the end of the hood of bout a 1/2 inch. It shuts alright and latches. Could this be a mixed up front end or just not assembled properly?
thanks guys wish I could see a car that is all together.

Here's a pic of a '73 with the hood shut for reference. Could be that the hood is positioned too far back.

Thanks 77 but I own a 73 chevelle coupe and was surpised to see that this 4 door had a gap. Are all hoods and fenders for our A body's the same length? It is probly just not set right. Makes me want to go take another look at it.

Guess I'm not positive about the hood length being the same between the two. But regardless, the relationship between the front edge of the hood and the header panel/headlight buckets should be the same. And trust me, a gap of 1/2" is excessive. Take a camera with you if you go out and look at it again. Look to see if the hood is set too far back.

The hoods are the same. There are many adjustments that can be made on the front clip, to get all the parts lined up, and the gaps set where they should be. Like mentioned, the hood may be too far aft. The hinges have slotted holes, so the hood can be set where it needs to be. If adjusting it, mark around the washers on the hood hinge bolts in the hood, so you know how much you need to move it. It takes some fiddling around to get it centered between the fenders etc, and it's almost a two-man job if you haven't done it.
Putting some tape on the fender edges will help protect them when closing/checking hood adjustments........and some rags where the rear corners will come down, if you should happen to let the hood slide while loosening/tightening the bolts...
