hood adjustment

I think I read that the factory installed the hoods with a guy inside the empty engine bay tightening the bolts. If true, I expect they loaded the engine et al by lowering the body onto the assembled K-frame. Otherwise, lots of trial and error (been there). I learned that before removing a hood, I drill 2 small holes on both sides so I can stick an alignment nail thru. I tried marking the bolt locations with a Sharpie, but not precise enough to get it back.
