Just got my 69 convertible back from paint and bodywork to replace rear quarters, repair some rust in the lower rear corners of the front fenders and do a complete re-paint in the original Liberty Blue metallic. I'm generally happy with the work, but the gap at the rear of the hood opening is really wide (almost 1/2 ")and the front center of the hood is rubbing when closed on the rubber trim strip. At the rear upper corners of both fenders the flat horizontal surface is fairly exposed from under the windshield trim and the door gaps on both sides, while balanced between front and rear, are also fairly wide. This leads me to believe that the fenders and entire front end are too far forward. I did a search of body FAQs and posts and read where the front end pieces are only adjustable forward and aft and should be adjusted after the doors are adjusted for fit (presumably at the rear edges).
I'm going back to the (dealership) body shop on the 14th for a couple of other things and would like some opinion/confirmation that I should seek adjustment to the front end.
