Heard that the GD is goin' on tour again.....
OK, so I saw the EPC part numbers were all the same, and thought it might be pre 86.....
When you drop the hood down on the slide rails, the "keepers" are about an inch forward of where they drop on my 93. When in the resting position, the hood is canted toward the windscreen about 20 degrees more than the 93, so it is hard to work on if I don't put up a strut.
Now, this is the really strange one......if you look at it from the top down...the fender profile sticks out about a quarter of an inch past the hood on both sides roughly 2 feet from the front, and then tapers flush to the rear. Kinda like it might have been in a front end collision and bowed out the metal.....I have had the entire front end off the car and during reassembly there were some small differences, but nothing remarkable....so, I though perhaps the hood was mismatched in addition to the crap paint job....the continuum doing some hard labor.....
